Why were Roman men required to register their families and slaves and wealth at census time?

The census in Roman times was an income assessment for taxation purposes. Not all men were required to do the registration. It was the patres familias (fathers of the family) who did this. These were oldest male in the family and were the heads of the household. They had to declare the assets of the household, how many family members there were and who they were because these assets belonged to him and because he had authority over the whole family. The other members of the household were not required attend the registration. This made the job of the officials who carried out the census easier and reduced the amount of inconvenience on the citizens. Since the slaves of a household were owned by the household, declaring how many slaves a household had was part of the declaration of the assets of the household. Only rich households could afford to own slaves.


Why did Mary and Joseph need to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem?

Luke 2:1-7 tells the story of the Birth of Christ in Bethlehem. Bethlehem was known as the City of David because it was the hometown of King David, Joseph's ancestor. Because Caesar Augustus had demanded a census, all men had to take their families to register in their ancestral cities (this was simply how they organized the information). While they were registering in the census at Bethlehem, Jesus was born in the city of his ancestor David, whose reign as king Jesus would fulfill.
