Chapter 7 - Josephus Part 1

Years Covered: 44-66 ADWe chart Jospehus' formative years, which track the steady decline of relations between Rome and Judea, as Rome plunges into debt and civil war, and Judea into anarchy and rule by organized crime. It all culminates in an attack on Masada, and refusal to sacrifice to the health of the Roman Emperor.Cast of CharactersJewsHerod Agrippa IIxHerod of Chalcis xBereniceDrusillaQueen Helene of Adiabene xIzates II xAnanias of Adiabene (merchant)Elazar of GalileeAlexander LysimachusTiberius Julius AlexanderJonathan the High Priest xHanania ben Nadvai xFlavius JosephusBanusZechariah ben AvkolasKamtzaMenahem son of JudahSalomeAristobulus of ChalcisJames the Just xPaul of Tarsus xAlytriosPrincess SymachoRomansEmperor Claudius xGaius MarsusCuspius FadusVentidius CumanusMarcus Antonius FelixPorcius FestusLucceius AlbinusGessius FlorusCestius GallusNeroPoppaea Sabina Agrippina the Younger xPallasOthoSporusSources:War of the Jews - JosephusAntiquities of the Jews - JosephusThe Book of ActsThe Lives of the Ceasars - SeutoniusThe Annals - TacitusTalmud Bavli Gittin 55b–56aTalmud Bavli Sukkah 2b Hosted on Acast.
