During the destruction of Jerusalem a Jewish mother kills her baby to show defiance to the legionaries, who recoil in horror. Titus Flavius Josephus (AD 37-c.100), the Romano-Jewish historian, served at the siege of Jerusalem in AD 70 as an interpreter, becoming a friend and advisor to the General Titus, later Emperor of Rome. His account, 'The Jewish War' (c. 75), is the main narrative of the period. By Bartolomeo Pinelli (1781-1835).
