Flavius Josephus (Yosef Ben Matityahu; 37 CE - c100 CE) was a Jewish priest, politician, general, and historian. His writings are the major source for the study of Second Temple Judaism.

Overview

In his writings, Josephus provides very detailed autobiographical information, about his childhood, his role of leadership in the Jewish War, and his reconversion as a supporter of the Roman rule and a personal friend of the Flavian emperors.

Josephus is well known also in Roman sources (Suetonius).
