Roman Imperialism in Action: Philo and the Jewish perspective

Step foot in the experiences of Philo, a leading Jew from the ancient city of Alexandria. Philo provides a fascinating window into the realities of life in the Empire, offering a distinctive insight into how Roman Imperialism operated in the first century AD. Philo gives us a captivating perspective on the interaction between the Alexandrians and their Roman overlords, from late in the Principate of the Emperor Tiberius into that of Caligula. In this talk, Jane Bellemore of the University of Newcastle (Australia) will examine extracts from Philo, ‘Against Flaccus’, and ‘Embassy to Gaius’, to illustrate features of Roman imperialism.
