Combining case studies from Anatolia, Egypt, Greece, Israel\/Judah, and Rome, it moves beyond essentialist dichotomies such as “victors” and “vanquished” to offer a new paradigm for studying representations of past violence across diverse media, from funerary texts to literary works, chronicles, monumental reliefs, and other material artefacts such as ruins. It thus paves the way for a new comparative approach to the study of collective violence in the ancient world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  List of Figures  Abbreviations  Notes on Contributors    1 Introduction   Sonja Ammann    2 The Ruins of Jericho (Joshua 6) and the Memorialization of Violence   Angelika Berlejung    3 Memorializing Saul’s Wars in Samuel and Chronicles   Stephen Germany    4 Fighting Annihilation: The Justification of Collective Violence in the Book of Esther and Beyond   Helge Bezold    5 Hellenizing Hanukkah: Reframing War Commemoration in 1 and 2 Maccabees   Julia Rhyder    6 Memories of Violence in the Material Imagery of Karkamiš and Samʾal: The Motifs of Severed Heads and the Enemy Under Chariot Horses   Izak Cornelius    7 Israel’s Violence in Egypt’s Cultural Memory   Antonio Loprieno    8 Real Fights and Burlesque Parody: The Depiction of Violence in the Inaros Cycle   Damien Agut-Labordère    9 Material Responses to Collective Violence in Classical Athens   Nathan T.
