 | | The Romans heavily taxed the Jews, controlled their trade, set up a government that was ruled by "puppet" kings, and in every other way possible controlled the lives of the Jews. | | | Full of zeal and hatred for the Roman government, the ZEALOTS were often associated with assassins, also known as the Sicanii. | | | The Jews, in return, despised the Romans, and their lives were filled daily with plots of how to overthrow the Roman government. |

| | Roman Rule |
| | Halakhah (Jewish religious law) served as the common bond among the Jews and was passed on from generation to generation. | | | A last attempt to restore the former glory of the Hasmonean dynasty was made by Mattathias Antigonus, whose defeat and death brought Hasmonean rule to an end (40 BCE), and the Land became a province of the Roman Empire. | | | Although the Temple had been destroyed and Jerusalem burned to the ground, the Jews and Judaism survived the encounter with Rome. |

| | In regard to a subject as contentious and politically charged as Roman imperialism, it is foolish to deny the influence of modern politics on scholarly assessments. | | | For instance, he suggests that assertions of the Western world's foundation in Greco-Roman culture are simplistic and politically tainted. | | | More expansively, he argues that scholarly assessments of Roman imperialism have been tied to conscious or subconscious support for European and American imperialism. |

| | In contrast, though the Romans had no racist or economic envy of the Jews, like the Greeks, they had unbridled contempt for Judaism, which they interpreted as a primitive religion. | | | Unlike the Iceni, however, the Jews had been schooled in Babylon and were driven by a powerful religious ideology, one... | | | The arrival of Greek conquerors in the eastern Mediterranean, with their vibrant, expansive culture, presented a major challenge to the Jews, especially to the theocracy of Judaea. |

| | The Romans would look to their empire as the instrument that brought law and justice to the rest of the world; in some sense, the relative peace and stability they brought to the world did support this view. | | | Culturally, the Romans had a slight inferiority complex in regards to the Greeks, who had begun their city-states only a few centuries before the rise of the Roman republic. | | | An immensely practical people, the Romans devoted much of their brilliance to military strategy and technology, administration, and law, all in support of the vast world government that they built. |

Other societies have relied on the same strategy, but never to the same degree. | | | By AD 160 economic decline began to imperil the Roman peace that the emperors had worked so hard to maintain. |

| | The common assumption underlying material culture research is that objects made or modified by humans, consciously or unconsciously, directly or indirectly, reflect the belief patterns of individuals who made, commissioned, purchased, or used them, and, by extension, the belief patterns of the larger society of which they are a part" (Schlereth 3). | | | As a study, [material culture]...is based on the obvious premise that the existence of a man-made object is concrete evidence of presence of a human mind operating at the time of fabrication. | | | In conclusion, You'll notice that in order to answer some of these questions I had to do a bit of research; however, some questions I could answer from the information given on the web page of the object or in the readings we have done so far this semester! |
