GREATEST JEWISH HISTORIANS

By Scribe Valdemir

Your testimony is important because it is probably the only surviving account of an eyewitness to the destruction of Jerusalem.

Josephus is considered as a Jewish revolutionary who surrendered to the Roman supremacy, exchanging suicide by loyalty to Rome. For his demonstration of loyalty, Vespasian not only received as a Roman citizen, but as a historian sponsored.
