Mor argues Cassius Dio's ancient casualty figures for the revolt are exaggerated, and that the revolt is better explained by accumulated social, economic, political, religious and national strife in Judaea since the First Jewish Revolt of 66 to 73, magnified by Simon bar Kokhba's charismatic leadership, than by any single Hadrianic policy decision such as the circumcision ban or the founding of Aelia Capitolina.FactsSourcesClaims Backed By This Source (26 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedMenahem MorPublisherWell-attestedBrill, Leiden and Boston, Brill Reference Library of Judaism vol. 50Publication YearWell-attested2016Source TypeWell-attestedacademic monographAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1Mor is a historian of the Second Temple and Roman periods (University of Haifa) and this six-hundred page Brill reference volume is the field's current standard single-volume synthesis of the revolt, cited throughout this atlas's entry for the skeptical modern reading of both Dio's casualty figures and any single-cause account of the revolt's origin.SourcesMenahem Mor, The Second Jewish Revolt: The Bar Kokhba War, 132-136 CE (2016)tier 1Menahem Mor, Brill, Leiden and Boston, Brill Reference Library of Judaism vol. 50, 2016Claims Backed By This Source (26 claims)This source backs 26 claims across the atlas.
