I'd like to see what evidence there is for anything that any historians say about life in and between Galilee and Jerusalem in the years 20-33 CE, any name of anyone who lived there, or anything that happened there.
 
Here are some that we have evidence for. I'm discounting the Bible, Josephus and Tacitus as sources, like people sometimes do for Jesus.
  1. Pontius Pilate
    • Role: Roman Prefect of Judea
    • Evidence:
      • Pilate inscription from Caesarea Maritima (confirms title and location)
  2. Caiaphas (Joseph son of Caiaphas)
    • Role: High Priest in Jerusalem
    • Evidence:
      • Ossuary discovered in 1990 with inscription identifying him
      • Confirms priestly lineage and burial in Jerusalem
  3. Herod Antipas
    • Role: Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea
    • Evidence:
      • Coins minted under his name with Greek inscriptions
      • Roman administrative records confirm his rule
  4. Philip the Tetrarch
    • Role: Ruler of Iturea and Trachonitis (northeast of Galilee)
    • Evidence:
      • Coins bearing his name and title
      • Roman records confirm his governance during this period
