The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Best known for writing The Jewish War, he was born in Jerusalem, then part of the Roman province of Judea, to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed Hasmonean royal ancestry.
- He initially fought against the Roman Empire during the First Jewish–Roman War as general of the Jewish forces in Galilee, until surrendering in AD 67 to the Roman army led by Vespasian after the six-week siege of Yodfat.
- Josephus claimed the Jewish messianic prophecies that initiated the First Jewish–Roman War made reference to Vespasian becoming Roman emperor.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Josephus article was read about 410,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
