Omschrijving

Agrippa I: Loyal Roman or Planning a Rebellion? — A Forensic and Political Investigation of Agrippa I: Loyal Roman, Rebel King, or Something in Between

Can't wait for the ebook? The audiobook is available now—narrated and ready to transport you into Agrippa's world. Narrated in a podcast-style format—accessible, engaging, and rooted in scholarly insight.

Diplomacy. Betrayal. Legacy. Hear Agrippa's story as it was meant to be told—in the voice of the archaeologist who uncovered it.

This is the complete script of the author's thesis defense, originally presented at the conclusion of a Master's degree in Classical Archaeology at the University of Pisa. > > The thesis was awarded the distinction of cum laude and reflects an interdisciplinary exploration of historical, political, archaeological, and medical perspectives.

Based on the author's original 750-page dissertation, this defence examines the complex figure of Agrippa I—grandson of Herod the Great and client king of Judea under Roman rule. Was Agrippa a loyal Roman statesman, a potential rebel, or a cunning political survivor? The original thesis is available in digital, audio, and print form, retitled as Agrippa I: A Comprehensive Archaeological Study of the Last King of Roman Judaea and a True Crime Inquiry.

Using a critical approach to ancient literary sources, archaeological evidence, and modern historiography, the work explores:

The material and political landscape of Agrippa's reign His diplomatic positioning between Roman and Judean authorities The recorded symptoms and political consequences of his sudden death The forensic plausibility of poisoning as a cause Competing narratives of loyalty, betrayal, and legacy in the first century CE

Both accessible and intellectually grounded, the content is ideal for readers interested in Roman history, ancient politics, and the enduring questions of allegiance and power in antiquity.
