Video time! – In the Service of the Empire: Jewish Soldiers in the Roman Army – in Germany – in the First Century B.C.E. (?)

After over 225 posts, it’s time to go back in time.  Far back in time, that is; much farther back than the twentieth century.  

With that, here’s a fascinating video by Dr. Henry Abramson (specialist in Jewish history and thought, and, Dean at the Avenue J campus of Touro University in Brooklyn, N.Y.), from his YouTube channel, Dr. Henry Abramson Jewish History Lectures (788 videos and counting as of March, 2023) concerning Jewish soldiers in the Roman Army in the first century before the Common Era. 

The apt title?:  “Three Jewish Roman Soldiers? in Germany? IN THE FIRST CENTURY BCE?”
