CLASSIC: The Earliest Recorded Mooning Killed Thousands

Josephus's "The Jewish War" provides a detailed account of the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 CE). It covers the political and military events leading to the war, the various factions within Jewish society, and the Roman campaigns. The book is a significant historical source for understanding the period, offering insights into the social, religious, and political dynamics of Judea under Roman rule. It's considered a primary source, though Josephus's biases and potential for self-aggrandizement must be considered. The work remains a cornerstone of understanding this pivotal moment in Jewish history.
