Abstract

Within this article I argue that the community
who survived the destruction of Jerusalem experienced solastalgia due to
the decimation of both the city and its environs. As an effective tool in
the geopolitical power dynamics of ancient war, the destruction of place,
both urban and rural, was used as a means of gaining and maintaining
submission of the conquered peoples.
