Flavius Josephus’s greatest work, The Antiquities of the Jews, completed in 93 CE, traced the history of the Jews from creation to just before the revolt of 66–70. Appended to the Antiquities was a Vita (Life) defending his conduct during the revolt. He also wrote History of the Jewish War and Against Apion.
