    020 - Chapter 19 At Rome
    Feb 4 2026
    In the annals of history, few events rival the gripping tragedy of Jerusalems destruction. Imagine if the entire Jewish nation had united in the fierce resistance mounted by a small faction against the formidable might of Rome; we would be left with a testament to unparalleled patriotism. Regrettably, the reality was starkly different. Beyond the valiant defenses of Jotapata and Gamala, the Jewish populace largely failed to mount a serious challenge against the Roman legions. The defenders of Jerusalem represented a mere sliver of its inhabitants, primarily composed of restless zealots and bandits. They fought with unyielding determination, spurred by desperation and remorse for the atrocities they inflicted upon their own city prior to the siege. Their bravery, while commendable, stemmed from despair and ultimately led to ruin for themselves and their families. Thankfully, the first-hand account of Josephus, who witnessed these harrowing events, endures as a vital source. While his narrative may reflect his desire to please his Roman patrons, Vespasian and Titus, the authenticity of his observations remains intact. Join me as I strive to paint a vivid picture of this tumultuous period, drawing faithfully from Josephuss account, aside from the exploits of John of Gamala, whom Josephus notably omits.
