[edit] Acts

Why is all the information here based on Acts? Shouldn't we be using Josephus? john k 20:05, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] King of Iudaea?

The article claims that Herod Agrippa II was appointed King of Iudaea in 53, which is simply incorrect. He never had any control over the Roman province of Iudaea; rather, as the article states, from 53 he was in charge of his great-uncle Philip's former territories which were all located in the north-eastern part of Palestine. The last Herodian king of Iudaea was in fact Agrippa II's father, Agrippa I, who is the subject of a 1990 book by D. R. Schwartz entitled Agrippa I: The Last King of Judea. I've amended the article accordingly.
