À propos de cette écoute
The year is 66 A.D. Nero rules the world as Caesar. Judea is a client state of Rome. The taxes are doubled and the Judeans refuse to pay. The Romans decide to raid the Judean's holy Temple treasury. The Judeans insult and mock the Romans for their avarice; the Romans respond by murdering thousands of Judeans.
A revolt ensues. The Judeans expel or kill every Roman in Jerusalem.
Emperor Nero sends his greatest general, Vespasian to restore Roman order in the Holy Land.
A young Judean high priest & scholar, Joseph son of Matthias is sent to Galilee as governor to prepare the area for the eventual return of Roman armed forces. Joseph builds fortifications, raises city walls, trains armies, and forges weapons. After a forty-seven day siege, the Romans take the city of Jotapata and capture Joseph.
Joseph survives a death march through the desert and is put on a Roman ship from Caesarea to Rome where he is to face spectacle execution.
He nearly dies on a shipwreck on the voyage to Rome, only to survive by being washed ashore with Titus, son of Vespasian, and a family friend, Captain Frachas. The three find themselves on a Mediterranean island habituated by Greek cannibals and are nearly eaten before being being saved by a crafty Joseph.
A Roman vessel finds the three and Joseph is again put on a ship leading to his execution.
Escaping the Colosseum with his life after a daring naval maneuver, Joseph impresses even Caesar. Nero puts Joseph under the supervision of Titus to help end the ongoing Roman-Judean war.
What comes next changes the course of history: the total destruction of Jerusalem
