Was the historical Jesus an anarchist?^165


  1. James C. Scott, The Art of Not Being Governed: an Anarchist
    History of Upland Southeast Asia (New Haven: Yale University
    Press, 2009).

  2. Morris, Ecology and Anarchism, p. 51.

  3. See, for example, Brian Morris, Kropotkin: The Politics of
    Community (Amherst: Humanity Books, 2003), pp. 202–203.

  4. Todd May, The Political Philosophy of Poststructuralist
    Anarchism (University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press,
    1994).

  5. See, for example, John R. Love, Antiquity and Capitalism: Max
    Weber and the Sociological Foundations of Roman Civilization
    (London: Routledge, 1991).

  6. Love, Antiquity and Capitalism, p. 4. Max Weber, The Theory
    of Economic and Social Organizations, trans. by A. M. Henderson
    and Talcott Parsons (New York: Free Press, 1964), p. 280.

  7. See, for example, Peter Temin, The Roman Market Economy
    (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2012).

  8. Particularly in comparison with China. See, Keith Hopkins,
    Death and Renewal. Volume 2: Sociological Studies in Roman
    History (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1985). However,
    see Walter Scheidel, ‘From the “Great Convergence” to the “First
    Great Divergence”: Roman and Qin-Han State Formation and Its
    Aftermath’, in Rome and China: Comparative Perspectives on Ancient
    World Empires, ed. by Walter Scheidel (Oxford: Oxford University
    Press, 2009), pp. 11–23 (p. 19).

  9. Although its size fluctuated somewhat, the Roman army of
    the early empire probably numbered around 300,000. Ramsay
    MacMullen, ‘How Big Was the Roman Imperial Army?’, Klio, 62
    (1980), 451–60. See Tacitus, Annals 4.5.

  10. The population of the Roman empire as a whole is difficult
    to calculate but a figure of about 50 million would be accepted by
    most in the field. See Keith Hopkins, ‘Taxes and Trade in the Roman
    Empire (200 B.C.-A.D. 400)’, The Journal of Roman Studies, 70
    (1980), 101–125 (p. 118). However, Frier cautions that estimates of
    the gross population of the empire can be not more than a guess. See
