Fried's study investigates the impact of Achaemenid rule on the political power of local priesthoods during the 6th-4th centuries B.C.E. Scholars typically assume that, as long as tribute was sent to Susa, the capital of the Achaemenid Empire, subject peoples remained autonomous. Fried's work challenges this assumption. She examines the inscriptions, coins, temple archives, and literary texts from Babylon, Egypt, Asia Minor, and Judah and concludes that there was no local autonomy. The only people with power in the Empire were Persians and their appointees. This was true for Judah as well. The High Priest had no real power; there was no theocracy.Biblical and Judaic studies ;v. 10.KönigswdReligion and politicsIranTo 640nliStaat (politicologie)gttTempelsgttReligiongndStaatsformgndSatrapiegndPriestergndPolitikgndTemplesfast(OCoLC)fst01147397Religion and politicsfast(OCoLC)fst01093842Politics and governmentfast(OCoLC)fst01919741Religion and politicsMiddle EastHistoryTo 1500TemplesMiddle EastHistoryTo 1500IranPolitics and governmentTo 640nliIranAltertumgndMiddle EastfastIranfastIranHistoryTo 640IranPolitics and governmentHochschulschrift.History.König.Religion and politicsStaat (politicologie)Tempels.ReligionStaatsformSatrapiePriesterPolitikTemples.Religion and politics.Politics and governmentReligion and politicsHistoryTemplesHistory322/.1/0935Fried Lisbeth S710621MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910781493103321The Priest and the Great King3792123UNINA
