Endnote 11 – Did the Temple Menorah Come Back to Jerusalem?

Yochanan Lewy, “The Fate of the Temple Implements After the Destruction of the Second Temple,” Studies in Jewish Hellenism (Jerusalem: Institute Bialik, 1960), pp. 255–258 [Hebrew], argues for the historicity of Procopius’s account. R. Boustan, “The Spoils of the Jerusalem Temple at Rome and Constantinople: Jewish Counter Geography in a Christianizing Empire,” in G. Gardner and K. Osterloh, eds., Antiquity in Antiquity: Jewish and Christian Pasts in the Greco-Roman World (Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2007), pp. 327–372, disregards any historicity in Procopius’s stories.
