Abstract: Josephus admired the Hasmonean Queen Shelomzion's cleverness for her foreign policy. Nevertheless, he was critical to her dependence on the Pharisees in domestic matters. Her political choices were characterized by her religious inclination and personal ambition. However, Josephus criticized that she overlooked dynamic considerations.
