Although it was once widely held that Josephus’s historical work, Jewish Antiquities , is modelled after the Roman Antiquities of Dionysius of Halicarnassus, recent years have seen some reject this view and others develop the suggestion that Josephus treats Dionysius’s work as a foil. This article provides a fresh evaluation of this debate by giving careful attention to each of the areas that have played a significant role in the discussion. After examining the areas of the basic similarities highlighted by Henry St. John Thackeray, style, historiography, general content and themes, and apologetic arguments, the essay concludes that features of the works’ content and apologetic arguments provide the strongest evidence for a direct relationship, and that the specifics of these features support the view that Josephus modeled aspects of his work after that of Dionysius and also intended to imply the superiority of the Jewish tradition over that of Rome.

两种古物的故事：对T. Flavius Josephus的古代历史与Halicarnassus的Dionysius关系的重新评估

尽管曾经被广泛认为约瑟夫斯的历史著作《犹太古物》是仿照哈利卡纳苏斯的狄奥尼修斯的罗马古物仿制的，但近年来，有些人拒绝了这种观点，另一些人提出了约瑟夫斯视狄奥尼修斯的作品为箔纸的建议。本文通过仔细关注在讨论中起着重要作用的每个领域，对这场辩论进行了全新的评估。在研究了亨利·圣·约翰·特克雷（Henry St. John Thackeray）所强调的基本相似性，风格，史学，一般内容和主题以及道歉论点之后，文章得出结论，作品内容和道歉论点的特征为直接关系提供了最有力的证据。 ，
