 Aramaic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For centuries after the fall of the Achaemenid Empire (in 331 BCE), Imperial Aramaic as prescribed by Darius, or near enough for it to be recognisable, remained the dominant language of the region.
Palmyrene Aramaic is the dialect that was in use in the city of Palmyra in the Syrian Desert from 44 BCE to 274 CE.
Aramaic came to coexist with Canaanite dialects, eventually displacing Phoenician in the 1st century BCE and Hebrew around the turn of the 4th century CE.

 Chronology of Jubilees Background about Jubilee years and when they happened. Believersweb.org
The year 37-36 BCE is noted to have been both a 7th year and a 70th year in a second passage of 'Antiquities of the Jews'.
Because a jubilee year would hypothetically have been celebrated in the year 422-421 BCE (autumn-to-autumn), it is clear that the year when Ezra arrived at Jerusalem (autumn-to-autumn of 458-457 BCE) would have corresponded with a Sabbatical year of the 50-year cycle (the 2nd Sabbatical of the cited jubilee cycle).
It is here of special interest that both the jubilee year of 572-571 BCE (the time of Ezekiel's vision) and the jubilee year of 29-30 CE (the time after the crucifixion) may have both occurred in alignment with a revolution of this respective long-time-cycle of 600 years.

Born around 63 BCE to an undistinguished, but almost certainly wealthy family, Agrippa would rise to be the friend, ally, general and son-in-law of the first Emperor of Rome.
As consul, Agrippa produced the fleet used by Augustus to defeat Sextus Pompeius, and in 36 BCE was victorious at the battles of Mylae and Naulochus.
By 33 BCE he had returned to Rome and was ensuring Augustus' popularity by holding the position of aedile, providing the public with entertainment and essential services, such as the Julian aqueduct.

 Herod the Great   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Herod the Great, also known as Herod, son of Antipater, was the Roman-appointed King of Judaea from 40 BCE to his death in 4 BCE.
Although not of priestly stock like past Judaean rulers, he did consider himself to be Jewish despite his Idumaean heritage (1, p.148).
His great skill in appeasing both his Jewish subjects and his Roman superiors is demonstrated by the relatively neutral imagery of his coinage.

 BCE sells stakes in Bell Globemedia to Torstar, Ontario Teachers, nets $1.3B   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Sabia, who has said for years that Globemedia wasn't a core asset for BCE but a good business in its own right and a useful ally for BCE's core Bell Canada business, declared Friday that the deal comes at a good time for his company.
Sabia said CTV and the Globe and Mail are in better financial shape than in 2001, when BCE Inc. and Thomson joined forces to create Bell Globemedia amid a wave of "convergence" deals, including the America Online-Time Warner merger.
The deal will provide BCE with a continuing ownership stake and "full, reliable, competitive access" to Bell Globemedia content at an opportune time, he said.

In 42 BCE, Mark Antony, one of the rulers (triumvirs) of Rome, became her lover and in 40 BCE, Cleopatra gave birth to twins named Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene II and later another son named Ptolemy Philadelphus.
In 37 BCE, Antony married Cleopatra in an Egyptian rite although he was already the husband of Octavia Minor, sister of fellow triumvir, Octavian.

 New Testament Chronology - Herodian Chronology
The year 37 BCE for Herod's capture of Jerusalem also can be bracketed by Josephus' dating of the High Priests.
Josephus dated the death of Herod in the year beginning Nisan 1 of 4 BCE, that is from March 28, 4 BCE to March 17, 3 BCE.
However, to move Herod's death to 1 BCE requires unnecessary co-regencies of Herod's sons and the use of accession reckoning, or not counting the first partial year.

In 198 B.C.E. Antiochus III, king of Syria, conquered Judea and reconfirmed the religious and national autonomy of the Jews.
The resentment among the Jews grew steadily, culminating in 167 BCE with the outbreak of a revolt against Greek rule in Judea.
The Hasmonean dynasty continued to reign also after the Roman conquest of Eretz Israel in 67 BCE and until the death of the last Hasmonean king in 37 BCE.

 Coin of Herod the Great: Star or Crest?
One such case is a Greek coin from Orthagoreia (figure 4) circa 350 BCE (Sear 1435,1436) which shows a star-like crest that is clearly attached to the helmet by a crest post.
Thus the depiction of a helmet with a crest on Herod’s large bronze would be consistent with the depiction of helmets on ancient Jewish coins before, contemporaneous with, and after the issuance of Herod’s large coin.
Comparing the two helmet coins of Herod the Great (figures 1 and 6), both minted in 37 BCE, the appearance of the helmet on the large bronze is similar, almost identical, to the helmet on the smaller bronze.

Furuli states that the reason for this venture is that this chronology is in conflict with the Bible.
And it is these observations, which are usually higher in the sky and not in the horizon, that are the most useful for chronological purposes.
Because these texts are dated to the reigns of Persian kings in the 5th century BCE, they are useful to determine the chronology of the period and are discussed in a later part of this review.

 ACCLA - XII Caesars - Emperor Augustus
He joined his uncle in Spain in 45 BCE in the campaign against the sons of Pompey and in the same period was sent together with his friend Agrippa to Appolonia in Epirus to complete his academic and military studies, and it was there in 44 BCE that he learnt of his uncle’s assassination.
In 37 BCE, he packed a pregnant Octavia off back to Italy, and shortly afterwards publicly acknowledged his twin children by Cleopatra who was dreaming of recreating the great empire of her Ptolemaic ancestors.
In 19 BCE there were further adjustments to Augustus’ power to streamline his introduction of legislation some of which was to encourage marriage, and curb adultery, which was a bit of a laugh considering his own record in this regard was not exactly spotless.

 SparkNotes: The Roman Empire (60 BCE-160 CE): Context
By the middle of the final century BCE, however, Rome had become the center of a multi-continent empire stretching from Spain to Iraq.
In terms of the society, social enfranchisement, and elite circulation, the imperial era from 40 BCE to 161 CE was a dynamic period.
Thus, in almost every aspect, Roman history from 50 BCE to 161 CE illustrates those challenges characteristic of governance and societal order in all the relatively advanced states that followed it, in the early modern and modern centuries in particular.
