Rutgers (1998), Rajak (2002), Gruen (2004), Cohen (2006), Goodman (2008), Schwartz (2012), and Fine (2013). Their research has concluded that the Jews lived under the confines and within limitations set by those who conquered them. Other scholars have also concluded that the Jewish population was derivative of those around them, unable to create their own voice and identity. Much scholarship has dealt with religious aspects of this period of time, but this panel will seek to demonstrate that more can be done with the historical and secular aspects of the period. This panel will also examine the different diasporas that occurred within the larger confines of this period (e.g. from Rome to Alexandria or Rome to Spain). While many Jews were oppressed, the sources reveal that these were also times of great prosperity. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Candara;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Candara;">This panel will seek to understand the cultural, social and economic developments<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Candara;">among the Jews prior to the Jewish War.
