Captured by the Romans, Josephus spent his later life in Rome under the patronage of the Roman Emperors where he composed his history of the Jewish people and his account of the Jewish war that led to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in A.D. 70. William Whiston (1662-1752), translator, was an English mathematician and historian who succeeded Isaac Newton as the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge.  Paul L. Maier is the Russell H. Seibert Professor of History at Western Michigan University.
