When was Jesus Born

WHEN WAS JESUS BORN?: M. M. NINAN
A total eclipse on March 23rd, 5 BC at 8.52 pm.
A partial eclipse on March 13th, 4 BC at 4.04 am.
A total eclipse on January 10th, 1 BC at 1.35 am.
Taking 4 BC eclipse as choice will leads to the birth of Jesus to 6
BC.
However many others believe that this is in error. A later date of
1 BC is now preferred. Chuck Missler quotes another source
which gives the death of King Herod as January 14, 1 B.C.
(Magillath Ta'anith, an ancient Jewish scroll contemporary with
Jesus.)
In “The Date of Herod's Death: The Errors Corrected” by
Murrell Selden also gives arguments that leads to a date for the
death of Herod the Great as January 26 (Shebat 2) in 1 B. C. .
The calculation is based on the dating of battle for the Roman
Empire at Actium.
Here is what Josephus tells us at page 320, Book XV, Chapter V,
Section 2, as follows:
"2. At this time it was that the fight happened at Actium,
between Octavius Caesar and Anthony in the seventh year of the
reign of Herod; and then it was also that there was as earthquake
in Judea, such a one as had not happened at any other time...."
