He is a controversial figure, in that he accepted patronage from the Flavian emperors, who were hated by Jews for their role in suppressing the Jewish Revolt and destroying the Jewish Temple. He accepted Roman citizenship and changed his name from Yosef Ben Matityahu to Titus Flavius Josephus. In ''[[The Roman Mysteries (Literature)|The Roman Mysteries]]'', he appears in ''The Assassins of Rome'' and ''The Enemies of Jupiter''.
