How did Jewish and Christian texts written in highly Romanized environments appropriate, adapt, and redeploy Roman discourse on exemplary leadership? James Petitfils explores the ways in which Josephus' Antiquities or 1 Clement, for example, utilize this discourse in the construction and maintenance of non-Roman ancestral exempla and native languages of leadership.
