At the same time, Christians began to distance themselves from their origins, becoming increasingly hostile toward Jews as Christian influence spread within the empire. This is the authoritative work of how these two great civilizations collided and how the reverberations are felt to this day.

A magisterial history of the titanic struggle between the Roman and Jewish worlds that led to the destruction of Jerusalem.In 70 C.E., after a four-year war, three Roman legions besieged and eventually devastated Jerusalem, destroying Herod’s magnificent Temple. Sixty years later, after further violent rebellions and the city’s final destruction, Hadrian built the new city of Aelia Capitolina where Jerusalem had once stood. Jews were barred from entering its territory. They were taxed simply for being Jewish. They were forbidden to worship their god. They were wholly reviled.What brought about this conflict between the Romans and the subjects they had previously treated with tolerance? Martin Goodman—equally renowned in Jewish and in Roman studies—examines this conflict, its causes, and its consequences with unprecedented authority and thoroughness. He delineates the incompatibility between the cultural, political, and religious beliefs and practices of the two peoples. He explains how Rome’s interests were served by a policy of brutality against the Jews. He makes clear how the original Christians first distanced themselves from their origins, and then became increasingly hostile toward Jews as Christian influence spread within the empire. The book thus also offers an exceptional account of the origins of anti-Semitism, the history of which reverberates still.An indispensable book.

Translated into modern English for the first time, Chaucer's recently discovered story of three young warriors bravely facing their fears and battling the forces of evil, large and small, makes for remarkable reading. It is also a testament to the brilliance of celebrity historian Dr Daryl Flannel in piecing the literary fragments together.The story of "The Nose Plumbers' Tale" casts new light on the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. The shocking physical effects of serfdom lead three peasant children into working in hideous conditions, saving noblemen from the dreaded Black Death. But they come to play a crucial role in the rebellion, shoulder to shoulder with better-known figures of the time.Dennis Chaucer also deftly solves another riddle that baffled historians for centuries - the question of who invented the handkerchief.Chaucer's words are brought to life for a modern young audience hungry for facts they can't verify, by author P.M. Goodman, with the blessing of Daryl Flannel. In times of fear and injustice, then and now, the Nose Plumbers offer hope for a better world.(Yes, that's Dennis Chaucer, younger brother of Geoffrey Chaucer. Dismissed by critics - and his brother - as a meshuggene yutz completely out of touch with the world around him, Dennis Chaucer's work was believed lost to history until Daryl Flannel's determined sleuthing offered this chance to reassess his creative output.)
