Título: Tacitus, the reign of Tiberius and the Parthian Empire Autor: Graham, Daryn Resumen: Resumen: The principate of Tiberius (AD14-37) was one of repeated cold and thawed relations with the Parthian Empire. Trade flourished, but so did war. At times, Tiberius gained the ascendency. At other times, his rival in the East, Artabanus II did. Through the use of nominees and allies, each supported their own imperialist causes and military forces, against each other. In this article, it is shown that these Romano-Parthian relations during the reign of Tiberius were far from static. In fact, they were multifaceted, punctuated by peace, trade, and war. This article addresses the growing field of interest that is the Parthian Empire, in the context of the principate of Tiberius. In doing so, it shall be shown that far from being an incapable ruler, Tiberius was able to diametrically oppose the Parthians with remarkable success.

Título: Israel vs. Judah, 2022 : the socio-political aspects of biblical archaeology in contemporary Israel Autor: Amit, Shimon Resumen: Resumen: The article traces the sociopolitical and rhetorical aspects of the discourse in biblical archaeology in contemporary Israel.1 Through the article I will show that research and theoretical interpretations cannot be separated from identities and socio-political biases. Generally, Zionist archaeologists are much less skeptical towards the bible than Palestinian archaeologists, pro-Palestinian minimalists or Israeli post-Zionists. Since the 1990s, a new school from Tel Aviv University has been developing and promoting a new paradigm of Low Chronology, which denies the existence of a United Monarchy in the days of the Judahite Kings David and Solomon. Despite the success of the new paradigm, a conservative school, whose prominent representatives come from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, challenges the new paradigm and tries to protect or update the old paradigm of High Chronology. The most controversial excavation sites in the last decade are the City of David site and the ancient city excavated at Khirbet Qeiyafa. The article analyzes the struggle between the schools about the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, as it reflects in articles, books, lectures, presentations, interviews and heated debates in the media. I will start with a brief review of the development of biblical archaeology against the background of the Judeo-Christian faith and the Zionist identity. Biblical studies, embodied by Julius Wellhausen’s Prolegomena to the History of Ancient Israel (2013 [1878]), was a direct threat to the Judeo-Christian traditions and to the belief that the Pentateuch was written by Moses. Wellhausen formulated the documentary hypothesis, according to which the Pentateuch is a composition of four different sources from different eras. One notable apologetic response against Wellhausen was the work of Rabbi David Zvi Hoffmann, who tried to protect the belief in the divine origin of the Pentateuch and the bible (Hoffmann, 1902). From the start, modern academic research was not only a critique of the roots of the Judeo-Christian identity but also an expression of personal, social and cultural values towards this identity. Wellhausen’s work was influenced by his Protestant background (Wellhausen was a professor of theology, but he resigned in 1882 because he felt that he cannot instruct future ministers) and expressed 19th century German Romanticism and Idealism. He saw Judaism that developed by the Priestly establishment during the Second Temple period as a dogmatic system of commandments and rituals, or as a degeneration of the more natural Israelite and Judahite religion and monarchy (the state). In this respect, he tried to show that Judaism as manifested in the Priestly Code “separates itself in the first instance from daily life, and then absorbs the latter by becoming, strictly speaking, its proper business” (Wellhausen, 2013 [1878]: 81). The debate whether Wellhausen’s approach was anti-religious or pro-Christian, anti-Jewish or even anti-Semitic, and how much his work was an expression of German Romanticism and Idealism, continues to this day (Kratz, 2009).
