A leaf from the 1466 manuscript of the Antiquitates Iudaice, National Library of Poland. Antiquities of the Jews (Latin: Antiquitates Iudaicae; Greek: Ἰουδαϊκὴ ἀρχαιολογία, Ioudaikē archaiologia) is a 20-volume historiographical work, written in Greek, by historian Josephus in the 13th year of the reign of Roman emperor Domitian, which was 94 CE.

Pines’ research shows the present day published Josephus text includes minor additions to its first reference to Jesus in Josephus’ original text (Antiquities 18:63) and most likely no modifications to the second reference (Antiquities 20:200) to Jesus involving his brother James. Given that the discussion involving these references is over ...

[136] Acts 25:23, Acts 26:1: Judas of Galilee: Galilean rebel Leader of a Jewish revolt. Both the Book of Acts and Josephus [151] tell of a rebellion he instigated in the time of the census of ...
While the authenticity of some passages in Book 18 of Antiquities of the Jews has been subject to debate, the overwhelming majority of scholars consider the discussion of the death of James in Section 9 of Book 20 to be authentic. [4] [5] The works of Josephus refer to at least twenty different people with the name Jesus.
The three references found in Book 18 and Book 20 of the Antiquities do not appear in any other versions of Josephus' The Jewish War except for a Slavonic version of the Testimonium Flavianum (at times called Testimonium Slavonium) which surfaced in the west at the beginning of the 20th century, after its discovery in Russia at the end of the 19th century.
An autobiographical text written by Josephus in approximately 94–99 CE – possibly as an appendix to his Antiquities of the Jews (cf. Life 430) – where the author for the most part re-visits the events of the War and his tenure in Galilee as governor and commander, apparently in response to allegations made against him by Justus of ...
Where the Hebrew Bible (I Kings 11:42) assigns Solomon's reign as 40 years, Josephus (Antiquities 8.7.8.) puts his reign at 80 years. Josephus also grossly erred in writing that a span of 514 years transpired from the time of the first and last kings of David's dynasty (being 21 kings altogether). [291]
There is also evidence in Josephus of substantial Jewish interest in silk, both in trade and production, especially in Berytus and Tyre. In the Roman period, Jiyeh was a production site of Beirut Type 2 amphorae [ d ] transporting olive oil from the 1st century AD onwards, [ 42 ] and local produce from Berytus, probably wine, was carried in ...
