"Flavius Josephus (c. AD 37 - c. 100) was a Roman-Jewish historian and military leader. Best known for writing The Jewish War, he was born in Jerusalem—then part of the Roman province of Judea—to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry. The Life of Flavius Josephus is 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 Tiberias (cf. Life 336). "
