About the Author
Samuel Rocca was born in Italy, but now lives in Jerusalem. He served with the Israeli Defense Forces and has worked as a teacher and a curator at the Bible Lands Museum, Jerusalem. Having studied biblical and classical archaeology at undergraduate level at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, he went on to complete his MA there, before researching his PhD on Herodian Judaea at Bar-Ilan University. Samuel has given papers at numerous international conventions, and written articles for several academic journals. Christa Hook began her illustrating career in 1986, after studying under her father Richard Hook. Her work has featured extensively in the worlds of publishing and television and, having illustrated over 30 Osprey titles, she has established herself as one of their most popular artists. Her illustrations combine the historian's attention to detail with the artist's sense of drama and atmosphere, and they are sought after by collectors worldwide.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Hook, Christa (illustrator). Herod was Rome's most important and powerful ally at the end of the Republic and during the first years of Augustus' principate.

Paperback. Condition: New. Hook, Christa (illustrator). Herod was Rome's most important and powerful ally at the end of the Republic.Although he has entered posterity as a ruthless ruler not only against his own family but also, according to the gospel of Matthew, as the instigator of the slaughter of the innocents. However, he was also an able administrator who developed a powerful army. At its peak Herod's army could field approximately 40,000 men, both Judaean and mercenary soldiers with troops from the Germanic tribes to Parthians to Romans. As a result of this varied composition it showed both strong Hellenistic influence in its armour and cavalry and Roman influence in its use of heavy infantry making it an intriguing topic for military history enthusiasts.The first study in English of its kind, this is a fascinating look at the ancient army of Herod the Great based on up-to-date Israeli archaeological reports and finds, including weapons and armour fragments.
