I do ha...I appreciate this piece, thank you for it. I do have a question however.....Titus Caesar is recorded as having the help of, among various other groups, a "strong contingent of Arabs...." in his subjugation of Judea. I was always under the impression that Arabs had reached that area in numbers only after going out from Arabia in the mid-7th century. Tacitus writes of them in the first century AD.<br />Is my nomenclature to blame here? SabaShimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093434770905504006noreply@blogger.com
