Jesus was born during the reign of Augustus (27 B.C.-A.D. 14) and conducted His ministry during the reign of Augustus' successor Tiberius (A.D. 14-37). Tiberius was succeeded by Gaius (Caligula). During his reign (A.D. 37-41) and that of his successor. Claudius (A.D. 41-54), most of Paul's ministry took place. Both Paul and Peter seemed to have been martyred during Nero's reign (A.D. 54-68). The revolt of Galba (one of Nero's generals) led to his suicide. Galba, Otho, and Vitellius died within the year of civil war (A.D. 68-69) that followed Nero's death. Vitellius' successor was Vespasian, one of the commanders who had taken Britain for Claudius and who was in Judea squelching the first Jewish revolt. He was declared emperor by the Syrian and Danube legions and returned to Rome to assume the post, leaving his son Titusto finish the destruction of Jerusalem with its holy temple in the next year (A.D. 70).
