Agrippa I's Last Days: The Final Volume with Expanded Analysis and Sources

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A gripping historical investigation into the possible assassination of the last king of Roman Judaea. Uncover the mystery behind the sudden death of Agrippa I in 44 CE—the final Jewish monarch of Judaea—in this compelling finale to a groundbreaking series. Explore Agrippa’s political world, as he walked a fine line between Roman loyalty and Jewish traditions. Admired by the Jews, yet at odds with select Greek factions, his reign was marked by diplomatic balancing. Special focus is given to his rivalry with Vibius Marsus, the Roman legate of Syria, whose tense relationship with Agrippa may hold vital clues. Was Agrippa poisoned? This work investigates his final symptoms through the lens of medical history and toxicology, assessing ancient accounts alongside modern forensic knowledge. Drawing on over 200 ancient and academic sources, it presents a multidisciplinary case that his death may have been a political assassination. Includes a comprehensive discussion, full conclusion, and complete reference section to support academic and popular audiences alike. Written by a classical archaeologist and Doctor of Medicine candidate, this audiobook presents a later section of the peer-reviewed Master’s thesis in Classical Archaeology (University of Pisa), awarded cum laude, archived at the university website, and referenced on Google Scholar. It combines Volumes 6 and 7 of the Roman Provincial Shadows series and includes the final chapter, discussion, and full reference section. The title has been changed for accessibility, but the content remains unchanged. Note: This audiobook is currently auto-narrated while the author completes medical studies. A professionally voiced version is forthcoming. All around 200 ancient and scholarly references are read aloud as part of the recording. Thank you for supporting independent publishing.
