Expulsion of the Jews

 * Reason:Crisp, clear, and illustrates the beginnings of the Jewish Diaspora. Illustrates the qualities of a featured picture in my opinion
 * Proposed caption:Expulsion of the Jews in the Reign of the Emperor Hadrian (135 CE): How Heraclius turned the Jews out of Jerusalem. (Facsimile of a Miniature in the Histoire des Empereurs, Manuscript of the 15th century, in the Library of the Arsenal, Paris.)
 * Articles this image appears in:Jewish Diaspora
 * Creator:A historian, presumably. However, its copyright has expired given that the engraving is over one hundred years old

 * Oppose, sorry. Not a great print, and the original illustration, of which this is a copy, is at the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal; it should theoretically be possible to get a scan of it. Chick Bowen 01:27, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This image does not appear to have any particular historical importance.  It was drawn about 13 centuries after the event it depicts.--Pharos 06:06, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Pharos, no real historical value. -- Grandpafootsoldier 04:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
