“Everyone who engages in war relies on either divine or human help; but when, as is probable, both are denied, the aggressor is bringing certain destruction on himself.”
Josephus' complete record of an important period of Roman history—first written in Aramaic, then translated into Greek. It tells of the brutalities committed by Herod and the other Palestinian kings, by provincial governors, by the most enlightened and reasonable of the Roman emperors, by the leaders of the Jewish insurgents, and by Josephus himself.
