Description:
Herod the Great and Jesus Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence, by Gerard Gertoux133/132 -According to the Book of Maccabees, Simon went to Jericho in 177, in the 11th
month (Shebat), and was killed with his two sons by Ptolemy (1M 16:14-16). Josephus specifies that this happened during a sabbatical year (Jewish Antiquities 13:8:1,2) which he dated to the 162nd Olympiad. Since the Seleucid year started in April 311, the year 177 corresponds to 133, and the sabbatical year is 133/132.
