Revolts, protests, and piracy were common occurrences. How did contemporaries relate to and make sense of such phenomena? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume gathers eleven contributions by specialists in the various literatures and modes of thinking that flourished in the empire between the second century BCE and the fifth century CE, including Graeco-Roman historiography and philosophy, Jewish prophecy, Christian apology, and the writings of the Tannaitic rabbis, to investigate these questions. Each contribution analyzes the discourses by which the diverse authors of these texts understood instances of unrest. Together, the contributions expand our understanding of the varied politics that pervaded the Roman empire. They highlight the intellectual labor at every level of society that went to (re)making this imperial formation throughout its long history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Pilar Eberle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3593519321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783593519326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Campus Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Lisa Pilar Eberle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451314000127,"sku":"9783593519326","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3aa40a5e-1996-412a-97e2-5c17bc0650b5.jpg?v=1735877104","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unrest-in-the-roman-empire-lisa-pilar-eberle-9783593519326","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
