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. Tacitus (Annals IV:1:1), for example, parallels the 9th year of Tiberius (from August 19, 22 CE to August 19, 23 CE) with the consulates of C. Asinius and C. Antistius, which are dated from January 1, 23 CE to December 31, 23 CE. Suetonius (Tiberius 73:2), after dating the death of Tiberius on March 16, 37 CE, added that he was in the 23rd year of his reign (from August 19, 36 CE to August 18, 37 CE). Suetonius (Claude 2:1, 10:1, 45:2) further stated that Claudius was born on August 1, under the consulates of Julius Antonius and Fabius Africanus (in 10 BCE), he became emperor in his 50th year (August 1, 40 CE July 31, 41 CE) and died on October 12, 54 CE in his 64th year (August 1, 54 CE July 31, 55 CE), which was year 14 of his reign (January 24, 54 CE to January 23, 55 CE).

For contemporaries of Luke, the 15th year of Tiberius therefore was running from August 19, 28 CE to August 18, 29 CE.
