Aix (Aquae Sextiae) was founded in 123 BC by the Roman consul Sextius Calvinus, who gave his name to its springs. In 102 BC its neighbourhood was the scene of the Battle of Aquae Sextiae when Romans under Gaius Marius defeated the Cimbri and Teutones, with mass suicides among the captured women, which passed into Roman legends of Germanic heroism (cf Jerome, letter cxxiii.8, 409 A.D. [1]). In the 4th century BC it became the metropolis of Narbonensis Secunda. It was occupied by the Visigoths in 477. In the succeeding century wa ...

Little is known for certain about Zeno's life. Although written nearly a century after Zeno's death, the primary source of biographical information of Zeno is the dialogue of Plato called the Parmenides [1]. In the dialogue, Plato describes a visit to Athens by Zeno and Parmenides, at a time when Parmenides is "about 65", Zeno is "nearly 40" and Socrates is "a very young man" (Parmenides 127). Assuming an age for Socrates of around 20, and taking the date of Socrates birth as 470 BC, gives an approxim ...

This battle, fought probably about 1095 BC, put an end to the forty years of Philistine oppression. In memory of this great deliverance, and in token of gratitude for the help granted, Samuel set up a great stone in the battlefield, and called it Ebenezer, saying, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us" (1 Sam. 7:1-12). This was the spot where, twenty years before, the Israelites had suffered a great defeat, when the Ark of God was taken. This victory over the Philistines was followed by a long period of peace for Israel (1 Sam. 7:1 ...

Certainly Matthew and Luke agree in attesting that Jesus was born in the lifetime of Herod the Great (Matt. 2.1ff.; Luke 1.5), i.e. according to Josephus (Antt. 17, 167, 213; BJ 2, 10) before the spring of 4 BC. This terminus ante quem [latest possible date] is certainly probable, but there is some dispute over it, as doubts about the reliability of the chronological information in both the Matthean and Lukan infancy narratives is justified" (The Historical Jesus: A Comprehensive ...
