Flavius Josephus brought before Titus, at the Siege of Jerusalem, 70
Flavius Josephus brought before Titus, at the Siege of Jerusalem, 70. Flavius Josephus (c37-c100), Jewish historian and soldier, is brought before Titus (39-81), eldest son of the Emperor Vespasian and commander of Roman forces in Judea during the Jewish revolt against Roman rule which began in 66. The Romans destroyed the city and looted the Temple. Flavius Josephus History of the Jewish War (79) is the principal historical source on the revolt, which ended when the Romans captured the Jews last stronghold at Masada in 73. Titus became Emperor in 79 and his exploits in Jerusalem are commemorated on the Arch of Titus, a triumphal arch built at the entrance to the Forum in Rome shortly after his death

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Flavius Josephus, the renowned Jewish historian and soldier, is brought before Titus during the Siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD. In this powerful image, we witness the meeting between Josephus and Titus, who was not only the eldest son of Emperor Vespasian but also the commander of Roman forces in Judea during the Jewish revolt against Roman rule. The backdrop to this encounter is a city devastated by war. The Romans had successfully destroyed Jerusalem and looted its sacred Temple. Flavius Josephus's "History of the Jewish War" remains one of our primary sources for understanding this tumultuous period marked by rebellion and conquest. Titus would later ascend to become Emperor in 79 AD, with his triumphs in Jerusalem forever commemorated on Rome's iconic Arch of Titus. This arch stands proudly at the entrance to the Forum and serves as a testament to both his military achievements and Rome's dominance over Judea. Through this remarkable photo print, we are transported back to an era when walls crumbled under siege, religious fervor clashed with imperial might, and individuals like Flavius Josephus played pivotal roles in shaping history. It serves as a vivid reminder of how past conflicts continue to shape our present world.
