In the fourth lecture of the series Battles of Rome: From Julius Caesar to the End of the Empire, Professor of Archaeology Fernando Quesada Sanz addresses two Roman conquests that took place in the 1st century AD in the Roman province of Judea. Using the work of Flavius Josephus, the speaker analyses the siege and capture of Jerusalem – led by the future emperor Titus, son of Vespasian – and the assault on the palace-fortress of Masada, paying special attention to military strategies. Finally, the veracity of the Masada myth is analysed, contrasting literary tradition with archaeological records. #battle #romanempire #marchfoundation #lamarch Subscribe to La March's official YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@lamarch?sub_...
