==Biography==
 
Quirinius was a Roman official and politician.
 
After the banishment of the ethnarch [[Herod Archelaus]] in 6 CE, the province of Judea came under direct Roman administration with [[Coponius]] as prefect; at the same time Quirinius was appointed legate of Syria, with instructions to assess the province of Judea for taxation purposes. The  census he carried in 6-7 CE was part of his duties. According to Josephus, the census triggered the revolt of [[Judas the Galilean]] and the formation of the party of the [[Zealots]]. The census of Quirinius is also mentioned as the setting of [[Jesus of Nazareth|Jesus]]' birth in the Gospel of Luke, where it is erroneously dated at the time of [[Herod the Great]].
