If we interpret Mark as some sort of
"shell-shock" response to the destruction of 66-70, we have a problem if we also think that Mark used writings of Josephus. (I'm thinking of Duran's
Power of Disorder. --
though Sinouhe, for one, is not impressed with this interpretation)
I have never read this book and didn't even know it. It was not me.
Sorry, I don't know who it was I was recollecting, then. I've struck out the claim from the original post.

Anna is Salome?
gMark refers to a past event?
I may have some time tomorrow to put together an Outline, but, Yes, Anna/Hannah is Salome-not-Alexandra, IMO. Josephus does not explicitly state that Jannaeus performed the Leverite Ceremony here with his brother's wife.
gMark is a Construction. Do the Constructors make Mark from whole cloth or do they dismember a pre-existing Story and re-assemble it into the story of a savior-god, loyal to Rome? I believe strongly that it's the latter. That means that the Original might refer to past events.
The Hasmoneans and Mishmarot Priesthood were "Done Away with" and replaced with Roman sympathetic characters.

PS: The OP concerns Trajan. I'll try to continue this in a separate Thread. Thanx.
