Josephus was the Roman Historian for Jewish documentation and he wrote a number of books. While there is some disagreement in attributing certain works to Josephus, the two core books of the Antiquities of the Jews and the Wars of the Jews are clearly properly attributed to him.

A very interesting fact is that in The Wars of the Jews, Book IV, Chapter 8, Section 4, Josephus clearly indicates that in his time, 2,000 years after the event, the ruins of Sodom are clearly visible. I have included a discussion of this in THIS PAGE since those same ruins are clearly visible in our own time, now 4,000 years after the destruction of Sodom, Gomorrah, and the Cities of the Plains.
