Antique print titled 'Vespasiaan belegert en verovert Iotapata'.
Emperor Vespian besieging and conquering Iotapata (Yodfat). This print originates from 'Het algemeen groot historisch, oordeelkundig, chronologisch, geografisch, en letterlyk naam- en woord-boek, van den gantschen H. Bijbel (..)' by A. Calmet.
The Siege of Yodfat (Hebrew: ????????, also Jotapata, Iotapata, Yodefat) was a 47-day siege by Roman forces of the Jewish town of Yodfat which took place in 67 CE, during the Great Revolt. Led by Roman General Vespasian and his son Titus, both future emperors, the siege ended with the sacking of the town, the deaths of most of its inhabitants and the enslavement of the rest. It was the second bloodiest battle of the revolt, surpassed only by the Siege of Jerusalem, and the longest except for Jerusalem and Masada. The siege was chronicled by Josephus, who had personally commanded the Jewish forces at Yodfat and was subsequently captured by the Romans.
Artists and Engravers: Antoine Augustin Calmet (February 26, 1672, October 25, 1757) was a French Benedictine monk and Biblical scholar active in the late 17th and early 18th century.
