| Sumario: | The Roman Jewish historian Josephus, tells, in his Bellum Iudaicum, history in which 960 Jews, led by Eliezer Ben Yair, decided before the final siege of the Roman troops kill himself in what would have been the last bastion of the Jewish rebellion in Palestine around the year 73 AD This story almost entirely circumvented in ancient mosaics and medieval sources, was resignified because of the birth of the Israeli state. Opposing the plethora of scholars who accept, uncritically, the narrative of Josephus, Pierre Vidal-Naquet developed a new interpretation which put into question the existence of such a mass suicide, criticizing, simultaneously, the biased tendency of national archaeologies in general and Israel in particular. |
