Jesus of Nazareth (c. 5 BC/BCE – c. 30 AD/CE), also referred to as Jesus Christ or simply Jesus, is the central figure of Christianity. MostChristian denominations venerate him asGod the Sonincarnated and believe that herose from the dead after beingcrucified.The principal sources of information regarding Jesus are the four canonical gospels, and mostcritical scholars find them, at least theSynoptic Gospels, useful for reconstructing Jesus’ life and teachings. Some scholars believe apocryphal texts such as the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel according to the Hebrews are alsorelevant.Most critical historians agree that Jesus was aJew who was regarded as a teacher andhealer, that hewas baptized byJohn the Baptist, andwas crucified inJerusalem on the orders of theRoman PrefectJudaea, Pontius Pilate, on the charge ofsedition against the Roman Empire. Critical Biblical scholars and historians have offered competing descriptions of Jesus as a self-describedMessiah, as the leader of an apocalyptic movement, as an itinerant sage, as a charismatic healer, and as the founder of an independent religious movement. Most contemporary scholars of theHistorical Jesus consider him to have been an independent, charismatic founder of a Jewish restoration movement, anticipating an imminent apocalypse. Other prominent scholars, however, contend that Jesus' "Kingdom of God" meant radical personal and social transformation instead of a future apocalypse.Christians traditionally believe that Jesus wasborn of a virgin:529–32 performedmiracles, :358–59 foundedthe Church, rose from the dead, andascended intoheaven, :616–20 from which hewill return.:1091–109 Most Christian scholars today present Jesus as the awaited Messiah promised in the Old Testament and as God, arguing that he fulfilled many Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament. The majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, one of three divine persons of a reject TrinitarianismTrinity, wholly or partly, believing it to be non-scriptural.Romanos III Argyros or Romanus III Argyrus (Greek: Ρωμανός Γ΄ Αργυρός, Rōmanos III Argyros), (968 – April 11, 1034) wasByzantine emperor (November 15, 1028 - April 11, 1034). His last name is Greek for "silver".// LifeRomanos Argyros was the son of an unnamed member of the Argyros family and a great-grandson of EmperorRomanos I. His sister Maria had marriedGiovanni Orseolo. Under Basil II, The soldier, he served as judge, and underConstantine VIII he becameurban prefect ofConstantinople. Romanos attracted the attention of Constantine VIII, who forced him to divorce his wife (sending her into amonastery) and to marry the emperor's daughterZoe. The marriage took place on November 12, 1028, and three days later Constantine VIII died, leaving Romanos III as emperor.The new emperor showed great eagerness to make his mark as a ruler, but was mostly unfortunate in his enterprises. He spent large sums upon new buildings and in endowing the monks, and in his endeavour to relieve the pressure of taxation disorganized the finances of the state. IdealizingMarcus Aurelius, Romanos aspired to be a new "philosopher king", and similarly desired to imitate the military prowess ofTrajan.Among his striking cultural achievements one should note the foundation of the Monastery of the Peribleptos (Sulu Manastir).In 1030 he resolved to retaliate upon the incursions of theMuslims on the eastern frontier by leading a large army in person againstAleppo, but by allowing himself to be surprised on the march sustained a serious defeat at Azaz near Antioch. Though this disaster was retrieved by the capture and successful defence ofEdessa byGeorge Maniakes in 1032 and by the defeat of aSaracen fleet in the Adriatic, Romanus never recovered his popularity.As a member of the aristocracy, Romanos III abandoned his predecessors' curtailment of the privileges of the nobility and reduced their taxes, at the same time allowing peasant freeholders to fall into a condition of serfdom. In a vain attempt to reduce expenditure, Romanos limited his wife's expenses, which merely exacerbated the alienation between the spouses.At home Romanos III faced several conspiracies, mostly centered around his sister-in-lawTheodora, as in 1029 and 1030. Although he survived these attempts on the throne, his early death in 1034 was supposed to have been due to poison administered by his wife, though it has also been alleged that he was drowned in a bath on his wife's orders. FamilyBy his first wife Helena, Romanos III Argyros had a daughter: (unnamed) Argyra, who was engaged to Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor .He had no children by his second wife Zoe.
