EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Flavius Josephus, a remarkable figure in history who embodied the complexities of his time. Born into a priestly Jewish family, Josephus defied expectations by aligning himself with the Roman cause during the Jewish revolt of 66-70. This bold decision not only shaped his life but also influenced his significant contributions as both a soldier and historian. With an impressive beard and dignified headdress, Josephus's portrait exudes strength and wisdom. His occupation as a soldier is evident through his commanding presence, while his religious background is symbolized by the subtle hints of Judaism in his attire. As an author, Josephus left an indelible mark on historical literature with two notable works: The History of the Jewish War written in 79 and The Antiquities of the Jews. The former serves as our primary source on the rebellion itself, providing invaluable insights into this tumultuous period. Meanwhile, The Antiquities of the Jews offers readers a comprehensive account of Judaism's rich history leading up to that fateful revolt. Through these writings, Josephus solidified himself as both a writer and historian whose words continue to shape our understanding today. In this monochrome engraving captured by an unknown creator, we are transported back in time to witness Flavius Josephus at the height of his influence. With every detail meticulously etched onto paper, this print allows us to appreciate not just one man's journey but also its profound impact on religion, culture, and
