Any book by @barrystrauss will repay your time & attention; this one sounds especially interesting, and I can't wait to read it.

Honored to have shepherded along a piece for Antigone Journal on Herod the Great. It's a selection from @barrystrauss's excellent forthcoming new book Jews vs. Rome. I suspected Herod was a fascinating figure, but I had no idea.

"Jews vs Rome" is the title of the forthcoming book by @barrystrauss from @simonschuster. As a taster of the captivating content this exciting work has to offer, today he offers an account of the rise of Herod the Great in the fast-changing Mediterranean: antigonejournal.com/2025/07/rise-o…

To be a good #historian you’ve got to love being wrong before you get it right. I explain that and also tell why and how I became a #historian in this episode of Historically Thinking. My interview starts at 40:22. bit.ly/40jhJYc

If @barrystrauss has another book out, read it. My favorite historian of the ancient world. I drew heavily from his book on Salamis when I taught naval history.

This looks to be another must read from the always great @barrystrauss
