Sculpting Idolatry in Flavian Rome - (An)Iconic Rhetoric in the Writings of Flavius Josephus

This book investigates the discourse on images in the writings of Flavius Josephus, focusing on the contentious relationship between Jews and images and demonstrating that the impression of opposition to figurative art is a rhetorical effort to express values shared by Jews and Romans alike, mitigating their tense relationship after the Jewish revolt against Rome.
