Everything about Cuspius Fadus totally explained
Cuspius Fadus was the Roman
procurator of
Iudaea Province between
AD 44 and
AD 46. He is mentioned by
Josephus.:"It came to pass, while Cuspius Fadus was procurator of Judea, that a certain charlatan, whose name was
Theudas, persuaded a great part of the people to take their effects with them, and follow him to the
Jordan river; for he told them he was a prophet, and that he would, by his own command, divide the river, and afford them an easy passage over it. Many were deluded by his words. However, Fadus didn't permit them to make any advantage of his wild attempt, but sent a troop of horsemen out against them. After falling upon them unexpectedly, they slew many of them, and took many of them alive. They also took Theudas alive, cut off his head, and carried it to
Jerusalem". (Jewish Antiquities 20.97-98)"
He was succeeded in
46 by
Tiberius Julius Alexander.
