according to eusebius, simeon was executed about the year 107 or 117 under the reign of emperor trajan by the proconsul tiberius claudius atticus herodes in jerusalem or the vicinity. however, this must be a mistake by eusebius because the administrator (legate) of the roman province of judea at the time of the crucifixion was quintus pompeius falco (between 105-107 ad) and tiberius claudius atticus herodes was there much earlier, from 99-102 ad.
