How the lives and fates and fortunes of these hapless Judeans were bandied about to gratify the wanton lust of these ty- rants and scoundrels! The last procurator, Gessius Florus, held the post till 66 and then the storm burst. For the climax of outrageous rule was reached in him. Josephus says that compared with him Albinus was a law-abiding citizen and to be praised as a benefactor! Need we add more ? He did not as Albinus even hide his crimes.
