[1] As a whole, they fulfilled various political, social, and religious roles, including maintaining the Temple in Jerusalem. The group became extinct sometime after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.
That issue should have been settled long ago, through the work of Filmer. Filmer cited six priestly rulers in the Hasmonean period, whose lengths or reign are given by Josephus (Ant. 13.228 to 14.97/13.7.4 to 14.6.1) as 8 years, 31 years, 1 year, 27 years, 9 years, and 3 and 1/2 year: Total 79 1/2 years. Filmer summarizes: "If each of these ...
