Synopsis: \xa0The divorce of Felix and Drusilla.\xa0 James and Paul struggle for the soul of early Christianity.\xa0\n\u201cAnd then it was that the sicarii, as they were called, who were robbers, grew numerous.\xa0 They made use of small swords, not much different in length from the Persian acinacae, but somewhat crooked, and like the Roman sicae, as they were called; and from these weapons these robbers got their denomination; and with these weapons they slew a great many; for they mingled themselves among the multitude at their festivals, when they were come up in crowds from all parts to the city to worship God, as we said before, and easily slew those that they had a mind to slay.\u201d \u2013 Josephus, Jewish Antiquities, Chapter 8\nLearn more about your ad choices.
