Full description

The integration of the last Levantine kingdoms and the transition from Neo-Babylonian to Persian rule foster the rise of new identities based on ancestry rather than on loyalty to a local ruler. In this framework, the various attempts to set up Jerusalem’s first ‘Second Temple’ appear as rearguard actions of little significance.
