 Josephus' Lineage
There is no good reason to question Josephus' report that his own father, Matthew, was born in the last year of Archelaus' reign [6 CE].
But in order for this Matthew to be the son of a Joseph who was born in the last year of Queen Salome's reign [68 BCE], the father would have been 74 years old when he sired a son.
While not beyond biological credibility, it is more likely that at least one or, more likely, two generations were dropped in Josephus' hasty recounting of his family's history at the beginning of his apologetical autobiography.
