“…On the situation under Rome in general, even when it is argued that Judaeans had the right to execute people this is very rarely extended to Roman citizens, which would indeed have been extremely problematic: see, for example, the comments of Winter (1964) 494-495, who argues that the Sanhedrin had the power to pronounce the death sentence, but explicitly denies that it possessed ius gladii, i. e. the ability to inflict punishment up to and including a death sentence on Roman citizens. 8 Amongst a great many others, see: Grabbe (2008); Clark Kee (1999); Goodblatt (1994); Mantel (1961); Zeitlin (1945) 109-140;Büchler (1902). 9 See Cotton (1999) 75-91 on the administration of the region in the post-Herodian era; see also Schürer -Vermes -Millar I (1973) 472-473 on the geographic scope of Agrippa IIʼs realm.…”

Summary: This paper examines Josephus' account of a judicial incident that occurred in around 62 C.E., which involved both Judaean elites and the Roman imperial powers. While traditional readings of the passage have focussed on mining it for information about the nature of the Judaean council that is often referred to as the „sanhedrin“, it is here argued that this report sheds light on several other key issues related to the operation of law within the region: indigenous perspectives on loci of authority within a judicial context, the importance of judicial power within broader societal conflicts, and the role of Judaean-Roman interactions in maintaining and redefining jurisdictional boundaries. It thus constitutes a valuable testimony for understanding the operation of law in this particular part of the Roman Empire.

The Attitude to Poverty and the Poor in Early Rabbinic Sources (70-250 ce)

This research examines the attitude of rabbinic literature to poverty and the poor after the destruction of the Second Temple. In the Hebrew Bible there are instructions to care for the poor and to be compassionate toward them. However, in Wisdom literature there is also criticism of the poor depicting them as lazy. The Torah obligates the individual Jew to support the poor though tithes from the produce of the fields, giving charity and free loans, but does not advocate establishing public funds for the relief of the poor. Rabbinic literature from after the destruction of the temple shows that the rabbis advocated community responsibility for helping the poor. It shows compassion toward the poor and encourages the Jews to support them through charity. They amended religious laws in order to enable the poor to have more to consume. This seems to be a change from the way the rabbis related to the poor prior to the destruction as is depicted by the New Testament. Examination of actions attributed to sages from before the destruction shows that the rabbis related positively primarily toward poor who were “sons of good” citizens. The other poor were “others” and were left to charity and tithes. After the destruction all poor are “ours,” sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The Boule of Baitolethepha (Beit-Nattif): Evidence for Village and Toparchy Administration in Judea

A clay seal from the collection of the late professor Dan Barag bears an inscription The Boule of Baitolethepha. The village of Baitolethepha (Beit-Nattif/Pella) was the administrative center of a Toparchy in Judea. This seal seems to prove that central toparchy villages, at least in Roman period Judea, had local councils called boulai and that this type of institution was not exclusive to poleis.
