Introductions to the works of Josephus and detailed indexes of main names. Josephus, a Jewish historian of the 1st century AD, was born in the first year of Caligula's reign, 37/38 AD, to a priestly family and received rabbinical upbringing.
After studying at the theological schools of the Jews, he embraced the sect of the Pharisees. In 66 AD, he was elected by the Sanhedrin of Jerusalem as a general of Galilee in the war against the Romans. He was captured in 67 AD by Vespasian, who subsequently freed him and then granted him Roman citizenship.
He lived in Rome until his death, enjoying the favor of the Flavian emperors. The date of his death is unknown; however, from his writings it is inferred that he lived into the first decade of the 2nd century AD.
