Description:

Agrippa I: Loyal Roman or Planning a Rebellion? — A Forensic and Political Investigation of Agrippa I: Loyal Roman, Rebel King, or Something in Between? This presents an audio in podcast form of the author's thesis defence, originally delivered at the conclusion of a two-year Master's degree in Ancient History, Archaeology, and Classical Studies at the University of Pisa. The thesis was awarded the distinction of cum laude and reflects a rigorous, interdisciplinary exploration of historical, political, archaeological, and medical perspectives. Based on the author's original 750-page dissertation, this defence examines the complex figure of Herod Agrippa I—grandson of Herod the Great and client king of Judea under Roman rule. Was Agrippa a loyal Roman statesman, a potential rebel, or a cunning political survivor? Using a critical approach to ancient literary sources, archaeological evidence, and modern historiography, the work explores: Both accessible and intellectually grounded, the content is ideal for readers interested in Roman history, ancient politics, and the enduring questions of allegiance and power in antiquity.
