The three studies of 'romanisation processes' which are collected in From the Sword to the Plough provide a new, refreshing perspective on the romanisation of indigenous groups in Gaul and the Rhineland, which respects the relative autonomy of native groups and individuals to interpret Roman cultural forms in their own way, in accordance with their own cultural backgrounds and social strategies. With this insight we can better understand the great regional variations which developed within Roman provincial culture.

The Book of Judith tells the story of a fictitious Jewish woman beheading the general of the most powerful imaginable army to free her people. The parabolic story was set as an example of how God will help the righteous. Judith's heroic action not only became a validating charter myth of Judaism itself but has also been appropriated by many Christian and secular groupings, and has been an inspiration for numerous literary texts and works of art. It continues to exercise its power over artists, authors and academics and is becoming a major field of research in its own right.The Sword of Judith
