Titus Flavius Josephus (/dʒoʊˈsiːfəs/;[1] 37 – c. 100),[2] born Joseph ben Matityahu (Hebrew: יוסף בן מתתיהו, Yosef ben Matityahu),[3] was a first-century Romano-Jewish scholar, historian and hagiographer, who was born in Jerusalem—then part of Roman Judea—to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry.

The bust is said to be of him.

Not to ''troll Christianity'', but Josephus Flavius is mentioned often as a historical source proving existence of Jesus. Funny that he wasn't impressed enough to convert to Christianity. He wasn't really an actual contemporary either. Is there real proof of the existence of Jesus and his apostles?
