Appointed procurator by the Emperor Nero following the death of his predecessor, Porcius Festus, Albinus faced his first challenge while traveling from Alexandria to his new position in Judea.
Ananus was therefore deposed by King Herod Agrippa II before Albinus's arrival and replaced with Jesus ben Damneus.
[1] Immediately upon his arrival in Jerusalem, Albinus began an effort to remove the sicarii from the region.
[3] At a certain point, a man called Jesus ben Ananias was brought in front of Albinus because he was prophesying the destruction of Jerusalem and of the Second Temple.
[6] The province of Mauretania Tingitana was added to Albinus's governor duties by the Emperor Galba.
