About Me
2 notes:
Major Sources for this year include the following:
The Revolt of Armenia (from 1 BC to 3 AD) runs through several sources, including: Suetonius 3.12-13,16; Dio 55.10.18 thru 55.10a.8; Tacitus' Annals 1.3 & 2.1-4; and Josephus' Antiquities' 18.39-54.
Gaius' visit to Arabia was documented in several lines from the Elder Pliny's work, "Natural History". The restoration of Nabatea as a Kingdom is based on the work of G.W. Bowersock in his book, Roman Arabia.
Archelaus’ 2nd thru 9th years of rule are barely mentioned in Josephus’ Antiquities (17:340-1).
Finally, the story of Jesus staying in Nazareth for Passover is based on Luke 2:41 and Matthew 3:22. The timing works perfectly, since Jesus turned 12 in the year that Archelaus was deposed. (See the Year Books for 6 & 7 AD.)
Well, howabout that? :)
It looks like I was accidentally successful at getting the Footnotes to 1 AD posted along with the text.
I wish I knew how that happened!
(Sigh. Talk about a 'work in progress'...) ;)
