It now detects a new interest in the figure of Josephus, Jewish priest born in Jerusalem, nearly two thousand years, was found located in the center of the confrontation between the Jewish and Roman world. Human destiny was exceptional: after being the one who captained the great rebellion of the Jews against Rome in 66, pathetic circumstances predicted the empire to Vespasian, later met up with Tito under the walls of his native city under siege and ended the days of Rome, close to its imperial guards, who gave the new name of Flavius. Was he a traitor? Was it a wise man conspicuous? Josephus is in any case the best witness to the era that gave birth to Christianity, a distinguished historian, without which some of the most tragic pages of history, the burning of the temple of Jerusalem, the fall of Masada, would be unknown today.
