Reviews

"...This study offers an original interpretation and contextualization of the Bacchius Iudaeus coin (RRC 431.1), a persistently overlooked artifact from a neglected period in the history of Judaism. Even more, though, Scott rigorously develops a number of creative, wide-ranging insights into the situation of Jews in the Greco-Roman world that merit the attention of anyone specializing in ancient Mediterranean religions." --G. Anthony Keddie, University of Texas at Austin, Review of Biblical Literature 12.1.16
