From Europe's legendary scholar of antiquity, finally in English.
The great denouement of everything: nations fall, loves die.

Ecce terminus est: the conclusion of the Jewish Trilogy and of the story ofTitus and Berenice.

Following the Maccabee rebellion, one hundred years of wars reestablished the Kingdom of the Jews. Under Herod, it enjoyed thirty years of peace. Sixty years later--everything went up in flames. The Jewish Temple, the dream of national independence, the great love between the Jewish Queen and the Roman Imperial Prince. All things end.

From Europe's legendary scholar-author, Aleksander Krawczuk (1926-2022) comes a beautifully written, highly erudite panorama of the Mediterranean world at the time of the fall of the Second Temple, with an occasional historiosophical reflection--profound and yet accessible to all readers.
