The complex relationships that Jews maintained with the successive rulers of the southern Levant have long aroused keen interest. This book aims to broaden this reflection to include all the practices linked to the exercise of power in the region. It is based on an approach that draws on various types of sources, ranging from epigraphy to numismatics, including papyrology. It draws extensively on archaeological sources, whose contribution has so far been too neglected in French-language studies on the subject.
