Summary note
"This collection of essays lays out the charged, complicated beginning of an independent Jewish state founded by the Maccabees in the second century BCE. Contributors offer focused, interdisciplinary analyses of the archaeological, epigraphic, numismatic, and textual evidence to create a holistic view of Hasmonean history that acknowledges political developments and evolving social responses to continuous militarized conflict involving the Ptolemaic Dynasty in Egypt and the Seleucids of Syria"-- Provided by publisher.
