He initially fought against the Romans during the First Jewish-Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee, until surrendering in 67 to Roman forces led by Vespasian after the six-week siege of Jotapata. Josephus claims the Jewish Messianic prophecies that initiated the First Roman-Jewish War made reference to Vespasian becoming Emperor of Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890638995607,"sku":"9781291998818","price":896.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781291998818.webp?v=1781180767","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-life-of-titus-flavius-josephus-9781291998818","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
