FIRST REVOLT AGAINST ROME the sound of the millstones

the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp

The community flourished as it welcomed refugees escaping the oppressive rule of the Seleucid kings in Judea

Felix and the Judean Drusilla had a son

Consider who might have held its elegant handle

enabling them to profit from the economic boom
