Although Roman emperors were not kings [officially], historians of that time, however, spoke of their years of reign157, as the Evangelist Luke does. Cassius Dio (Roman History LVIII:27:1-28:5) dated exactly the reign of Tiberius indicating that he ruled the empire 22 years 7 months and 7 days, which places the beginning of his reign from the death of Augustus on August 19, 14 CE, and not from the time of his nomination by the Roman Senate on September 17, 14 CE. Tacitus (Annals I:5:1) also confirms that Tiberius became master of the empire at the death of Augustus. Josephus (according to his reckoning, Augustus began to rule after the death of Caesar in 44 BCE) knew this way of dating emperors (Jewish War II:168). The first year of Tiberius therefore ran from August 19, 14 CE to August 18, 15 CE. This way of counting the years was usual at that time.

So when was the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar? If we can establish that,
all that remains to do is add three and a half years, and we arrive at the date of the Cross. Tiberius became sole emperor on the death of his adoptive father, Augustus, on 19th August AD 14. However, it is a well- known fact that he had become co-regent with his ailing father two years earlier in AD 12. In that year, he was made supreme military commander over Caesar's armies and prov- inces. Ancient coins from Antioch dated AD 12 display the head of Tiberius and documents attest to his reign being fully in force from that time. Thus, his inauguration in AD 14 as emperor was only a formalisation of a that had begun two years earlier. Therefore, the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius would make it AD 26-27 correlating with the start of Christ's ministry and supporting the AD 30 date as the most likely date of his crucifixion.
