As of this writing, September 9th, 2025, I’m about sixty pages away from finishing Jews vs. Rome by Barry Strauss (which is superb, by the way).
Today, my afternoon is hectic with a furniture delivery, so I won’t get much reading in today. But tomorrow I hope to crank, and I’m hoping to finish by Thursday or Friday. That means later this week or this weekend, I’ll begin.
If you have the book, you have commented in the chat, and want to start, go right ahead. And no worries if you’re not ready to start, the discussion will be open, so if you start later, that’s fine.
Note
I do read the introductions. Holland is an esteemed Roman historian. I’m thinking of doing a live video chat after I finish the introduction to discuss what we’re about to dive into, and to discuss Holland’s perspective.
So do read the introduction.
