| Title: A Bad Joke in Josephus Secondary Title: JJS Volume: 36 Pages: 195-199 Type: Journal Article Year: 1985 Abstract: "According to Josephus' War 2:295, some Jewish malcontents in A.D. 66 carried around a basket and asked for small change for the Roman procurator Florus as if he were a destitute beggar. These jokers came from the aggrieved Judean upper class; their action proved to be the crucial catalyst that led to the outbreak of the Great Revolt". - D.J.H.
