Publisher's Description
Though the Roman Empire has been a hot topic within New Testament studies in the twenty-first century, its military aspect has--strangely--been almost entirely neglected. This volume will fill that lacuna by reprinting pivotal, but difficult to access, essays on the topic from the past forty years. The book will help bring scholars up to speed on what Roman military experts have been saying on the matter and give a sense for key developments within the field over the last forty years. The contents of this book include a variety of pivotal essays, though most are difficult to find without access to a major research library.

“In this volume Christopher Zeichmann continues to alert scholars of early Judaism and the New Testament to the significance of the Roman military in Palestine in the first centuries CE. He chooses seven essential essays written by scholars of Roman military power, contextualizes their approaches and contributions in a helpful introduction, and provides an annotated bibliography for further research. This is a valuable collection.”
