Titus Flavius Josephus (36-100 CE), was born Yosef ben Matityahu and became a 1st-century CE Jewish historian. He was a member of a priestly household in Jerusalem through his father’s side (the house and order of Jehoiarib), and his mother was of royal descent (Hasmonean). He was educated in Jerusalem and most likely shared ideology and sympathy with the party of the Pharisees. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original definition at [https://www.worldhistory.org/Flavius\_Josephus/](https://www.worldhistory.org/Flavius_Josephus/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - Is there a related topic you'd like to see covered? - Have you come across a different take on this topic? - What would you like to know more about?
