How fascinating! That's why these daily penguins are so valuable. It' a stroll through the ancient world, that most of us know so little of. Thank you Steve.

Hi Steve! Have you read Josephus' Against Apion? Thanks for your videos - love them.

Josephus: the Classical Quisling? Great points on separating the text from a reprehensible writer. Also, great shoutout to Masada, Peter O’Toole’s Roman resignation is masterful.

Do you think the 1860 destruction of the Qing Summer Palace in the Second Opium War is equivalent to the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple?

Also, is there any evidence or scholarship that Josephus’ writings influenced the Romans in the final Jewish War under Hadrian?
