William Horbury's academic history treats the diaspora revolts of 115 to 117 CE, chiefly in Cyrenaica, Egypt, Cyprus and Mesopotamia, alongside the later Bar Kokhba Revolt of 132 to 135 as a connected sequence of Jewish uprisings against Roman rule spanning Trajan's and Hadrian's reigns. Horbury was Emeritus Professor of Jewish and Early Christian Studies at the University of Cambridge, and the work draws on the Greek, Latin and rabbinic sources for the revolts alongside papyrological and archaeological evidence from Egypt and Cyrenaica.
