description: Led by the mighty Titus, the Roman army besieges Jerusalem. This edition starts with 'book 5' of Josephus' Jewish War, the moment Titus marches on Jerusalem. It describes the Jewish internal faction war as well as the siege, the famine and the fights between Jews and Romans. The book gives the integral text of several books of Josephus' Jewish War. This is therefore not an abridged version. Is is a selection. It consists of the consecutive chapters/scrolls focusing on the events at Jerusalem in 69 AD.
