In the year 30 A.D, the Roman Empire was 780 years old. It included all the countries around the Mediterranean, from Spain and Galatia to Egypt and Syria.

One day, in the palace of the Roman Governor Pilate who commanded the occupying forces,... Captain, what kind of news do you have in your weekly report? Rome Governor, I saw a large crowd of people at the Jordan river, where a certain John the Baptist is preaching. He's believed to be a prophet... 

He baptizes people and talks about the coming of a new leader called the Messiah. Mm...I see another leader, who'll recruit an army and try to drive us Romans, away... It's not the first and won't be the last leader. But none has succeeded yet in driving us out! Yes, these Jews are in-deed a special people They're the only people who cannot be broken... and Emperor Tiberias is giving in to them. When I had decorated this palace with golden paintings, displaying our Roman gods, he ordered me to remove them!
