At the crossroads of anthropological and political studies on the ancient Near East, this book highlights the specific form of the ethnic monarch, through the cases of Jewish and Nabataean kings. The identity officially assumed by these sovereigns, the context of cultural bilingualism and the comparison with the model of Hellenistic monarchies are all points raised. The book also highlights original political and identity constructions, challenging the generally unfavorable view that characterizes the Hasmonean monarchs or Herod the Great in traditional historiography.
