My
question is: Does Bruce's claim about rights of extradition hold up under
scrutiny. Even assuming that there were such rights in effect in Julius Caesar's
time, do we have any reason to think that they were also in effect in the fourth
decade CE?
Josephus, War 1.474
states: "No other sovereign had been enpowered by Caesar as he [Herod] had, to
reclaim a fugitive subject even from outside his jurisdiction."
However the power of
the HP is not dependent upon Caesar but the level of relations between the
synagogue to whom the request is sent and the reigning HP. Thus if there
is cordial relations then the request will be honored. Mantel has shown that the
High Priest and the Nesi'im was in contact with all the Jewish
communities through emissaries and proclamations.
