Josephus ' Antiquities of the Jews, written around 93 – 94 AD, includes two references to Jesus in Books 18 and 20 and a reference to John the Baptist in Book 18.

In the Antiquities of the Jews ( Book 20, Chapter 9, 1 ) Josephus refers to the stoning of " James the brother of Jesus " by order of Ananus ben Ananus, a Herodian-era High Priest who died c. 68 AD.

In the Antiquities of the Jews ( Book 18, Chapter 5, 2 ) Josephus refers to the imprisonment and death of John the Baptist by order of Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee and Perea.

Among other things, the authenticity of this passage would help make sense of the later reference in Josephus Antiquities of the Jews Book 20, Chapter 9, 1 where Josephus refers to the stoning of " James the brother of Jesus ".

And again in his Commentary on Matthew ( Book X, Chapter 17 ) Origen refers to Josephus ' Antiquities of the Jews by name and that Josephus had stated that the death of James had brought a wrath upon those who had killed him.

Josephus stated ( Antiquities 18. 5. 2 ) that the AD 36 defeat of Herod Antipas in the conflicts with Aretas IV of Nabatea was widely considered by the Jews of the time as misfortune brought about by Herod's unjust execution of John the Baptist.

The Arnamagnæan Manuscript Collection (, ) derives its name from the Icelandic scholar and antiquarian Árni Magnússon ( 1663 – 1730 ) — Arnas Magnæus in Latinised form — who in addition to his duties as secretary of the Royal Archives and professor of Danish Antiquities at the University of Copenhagen, spent much of his life building up the collection of manuscripts that now bears his name.

Centuries later, the Greek historian Dionysius of Halicarnassus in his Rhomaike Archaiologia ( Antiquitates romanae, " Roman Antiquities "), quoting Antioch of Syracuse states that Italus was an Oenotrian by birth and retells this account that Italia was named after him, alongside the other account that Italia derives its name from a word for calf, an etymology also stated by Timaeus, Varro ( Rerum Rusticarum, 2. 5 ), and Festus.

Here Acts 12: 21-23 is largely parallel to Antiquities 19. 8. 2 ; ( 2 ) the cause of the Egyptian pseudo-prophet in Acts 21: 37f and in Josephus ( War 2. 13. 5 ; Antiquities 20. 8. 6 ); ( 3 ) the curious resemblance as to the order in which Theudas and Judas of Galilee are referred to in both ( Acts 5: 36f ; Antiquities 20. 5. 1 ).

However, although both the gospels and Josephus refer to Herod Antipas killing John the Baptist, they differ on the details and motives, e. g. whether this act was a consequence of the marriage of Herod Antipas and Herodias ( as indicated in Matthew 14: 4, Mark 6: 18 ), or a pre-emptive measure by Herod which possibly took place before the marriage to quell a possible uprising based on the remarks of John, as Josephus suggests in Antiquities 18. 5. 2.

The concept of dividing pre-historical ages into systems based on metals extends far back in European history, but the present archaeological system of the three main ages: stone, bronze and iron, originates with the Danish archaeologist Christian Jürgensen Thomsen ( 1788 – 1865 ), who placed the system on a more scientific basis by typological and chronological studies, at first of tools and other artifacts present in the Museum of Northern Antiquities in Copenhagen ( later the National Museum of Denmark ).
