For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
RE: For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
Quote:It may have been in response to this problem that Tertullian, writing around 200, stated that the census had been taken by Gaius Sentius Saturninus (legate of Syria, 9 – 6 BC) rather than Quirinius.

As noted, Saturninus was governor of Syria between 9 and 6 BC. At the time Herod was the king of an independent monarchy allied to Rome. The Romans did not "tax" Judaea. That was up to Herod. Whatever tribute Herod paid was determined by treaty ( and doubtlessly a few bribes) ...not by some fucked up census.
