Rebels fight against the new Christian king of Ptolemaic Egypt

The Life of Jesus
In approximately 4 BC, a man called Jesus was born in the Jewish area of Ptolemaic Egypt. While much of his life was largely unremarkable - one would not expect much more of a lowly carpenter's son - rumors that he was the long expected messiah swirled around him. In around 24 AD* these rumors were all but confirmed as he began to travel around Egypt and Judea, preaching and supposedly preforming miracles. While their is much contention over what exactly he did, many of his gatherings are very well recorded, and he mostly preached about helping others, and being a good person in general. However, it is clear that by 28 AD he had gathered a significant following, and his message was beginning to spread across Egypt and parts of the near east.
