Flavius Josephus, a Roman-Jewish historian and military leader, is renowned for his writings “The Jewish War” and “Antiquities of the Jews.” Initially, he fought against the Roman Empire in the First Jewish-Roman War but later defected to the Roman side and was granted Roman citizenship. Josephus played a crucial role as an advisor and translator to Vespasian’s son Titus during the siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD. His works offer valuable insights into first-century Judaism and the historical background of Early Christianity, making him a significant historical source for ancient Israel.
