Books III, IV: Continuation for the period of the Successors. Ptolemy, Demetrius, Antiochus. Relationships and military conflicts with the Romans.
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 a rabbinical education. After studying in the theological schools of the Jews, he adopted the sect of the Pharisees.
In 66 AD, he was elected general of Galilee by the Sanhedrin of Jerusalem in the war against the Romans. He was captured in 67 AD by Vespasian, who later granted him freedom and then made him a Roman citizen. He lived in Rome until his death, enjoying the favor of the Flavian emperors.
The date of his death is unknown, but from his writings, it can be inferred that he lived through the first decade of the 2nd century AD.
