EDITORS COMMENTS
Judas Maccabeus: The Triumphant Leader of the Maccabean Revolt (160 BC, Palestine) This evocative image captures the triumphant spirit of Judas Maccabeus, the charismatic leader of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire, which dominated Israel from 175 to 160 BC. The Maccabean Revolt, also known as the Maccabean War or the Hasmonean Revolution, was a significant turning point in Jewish history, marking the end of Seleucid rule and the beginning of the Hasmonean dynasty. The scene depicted in this print shows Judas Maccabeus, dressed in the armor of a Hasmonean commander, standing victoriously on a hill overlooking the battlefield. In his right hand, he holds aloft a standard bearing the emblem of the Jewish star, symbolizing the Jewish people's renewed faith and determination to reclaim their homeland. The Seleucid forces, represented by the elephants and soldiers in the background, are in disarray, having been defeated by the Maccabean army. The Maccabean Revolt began in 167 BC when the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes issued a decree mandating the Hellenization of the Jewish people, including the desecration of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Judas Maccabeus, the leader of the rebellion, rallied the Jewish forces and, through a series of brilliant military campaigns, managed to defeat the Seleucids and reclaim Jerusalem. The success of the Maccabean Revolt not only restored Jewish religious practices but also established the Hasmonean dynasty, which ruled Israel until the Roman conquest in 63 BC. This period is known as the Hasmonean Kingdom or the Hasmonean Commonwealth and is considered a golden age in Jewish history. This powerful and inspiring image of Judas Maccabeus serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Jewish people and their ability to rise against oppression and reclaim their homeland.
