Of crucial importance in most theories of the Star of Bethlehem are two related chronological issues: the year of the census of Quirinius, the Roman governor of Syria, and the year when king Herod died.
According to Luke 2:1-2, Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem because Joseph and his family had to report there for a tax census ordered by the Roman emperor Augustus and carried out by Publius Sulpicius Quirinius (Cyrenius in Greek sources), the Roman governor of Syria.
Others have argued that the nativity census was indeed the one of 6/7 CE and that the Herod mentioned in the nativity gospels was in fact Herod the Great’s son and successor Herod Archelaus.

It may seem paradoxical, but this favorable political position and the militarily consequences were not foreseen.
