Abstract
In the Monty Python film, The Life of Brian, a disgruntled and militant Judean asks “What have the Romans ever done for us?” His colleagues begin to give answers: the aqueduct, sanitation, roads, irrigation, education, medicine, education, wine, public baths, civic order and peace. But although the Judean freedom fighters’ list is long, the implication is clear: the Romans have never done anything for the Judeans.
