Augustus and the Roman Empire The Gospels of Matthew and Luke begin narrating before the life of Jesus, with Matthew emphasizing the local government and Luke including information related to the Roman Empire. The leader of this Empire was Caesar Augustus (formerly, Octavian), who became “first citizen” of the Roman Empire in 27 BC and ruled until his death in AD 14 (Luke 2:1). |

Herod the Great While the Gospel of Luke emphasizes the Romans and Augustus, the Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the local king, Herod the Great (Matthew 2:1). This Herod was crowned king of the Judeans by the Roman Senate in 40 BC as a client king under the authority of Rome, but he actually took power with the conquest of Jerusalem in 37 BC when he was able to finally defeat the previous ruling Hasmoneans. |
