Abstract
This chapter discusses Josephus's account of the siege of Jerusalem, which includes unique features that cannot be found in his other works, noting that this account expresses definite views on the customs and the religion of the Jews, and on their leader as well. It tries to establish the account' source/s and identify its hidden messages, in order to add to the understanding of Posidonius's attitude toward Jews and Judaism.
