| Title: The politics of contempt; Judaeans and Egyptians in Josephus's "Against Apion" Secondary Title: Negotiating Diaspora; Jewish Strategies in the Roman Empire Pages: 109-127 Type: Book Section Year: 2004 Abstract: Josephus insisted that the Jews, who were the loyal friends with the Romans, were the very opposite of the Egyptians. His contempt for the Egyptians parallels with that of Philo, which was motivated by the Egyptian persecution during the pogrom in CE 38. Similar to Josephus, Philo also emphasized the Jewish loyalty to Rome. Keywords: Against Apion; historiography; Judea; Egypt |
