▲Born in the neighborhood of [[Lanuvium]], a Latin town near Rome, of an undistinguished family, Quirinius followed the normal pathway of service for an ambitious young man of his social class. According to the Roman historian [[Florus]], Quirinius defeated the Marmaridae, a tribe of desert raiders from Cyrenaica, possibly while governor of [[Creta et Cyrenaica|Crete and Cyrene]] around 14 BC, declining however the honorific name Marmaricus.<ref>Erich S. Gruen, 'The Expansion of the Empire under Augustus' in ''The Cambridge Ancient History, Volume X: The Augustan Empire, 43 BC - AD 69'', (Cambridge University Press, 1996) page 168.</ref> In 12 BC he was named [[consul]], a sign that he enjoyed the favour of [[Augustus]].

Some years later, he led a campaign against the Homonadenses, a tribe based in the mountainous region of [[Galatia]] and [[Cilicia]], around 5 - 3 BC, probably as legate of Galatia. He won by reducing their strongholds and starving out the defenders.<ref>Erich S.

After the banishment of the ethnarch [[Herod Archelaus]] in 6 AD, [[Judaea (Roman province)|Iudaea]] (the conglomeration of [[Samaria]], [[Judea]] and [[Idumea]]) came under direct Roman administration with [[Coponius]] as [[prefect]]; at the same time Quirinius was appointed [[legatus|Legate]] of Syria, with instructions to assess Iudea Province for taxation purposes.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Hayes |first1=John Haralson |last2=Mandell |first2=Sara R. |title=The Jewish people in classical antiquity: from Alexander to Bar Kochba |url=http://books.google.com/?id=er1Ls6bSQNMC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA101#v=onepage&q |accessdate=June 13, 2010 |year=1998 |publisher=Westminster John Knox Press |location=Louisville, Kentucky |isbn=9780664257279 |pages=[http://%5Bhttp://books.google.com/books?id=er1Ls6bSQNMC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA153#v=onepage&q&f=false 153]-154 |chapter=Chapter 3: The Herodian Period. |quote=Thus in 6 or 7 AD, Augustus commissioned the newly appointed Legate of Syria, Quirinius, to carry out the census}}</ref> One of his first duties was to [[Census of Quirinius|carry out a census]] as part of this.<ref>Erich S.

Kirenius memerintah di Siria dengan otoritas nominal atas Yudea sampai tahun 12. Kemudian dia kembali ke Roma, menjadi teman dekat [[Tiberius]]. Dia meninggal 9 tahun kemudian dan mendapat penguburan penghormatan.
The [[Gospel of Luke]] links the [[nativity of Jesus|birth]] of [[Jesus]] to a "world-wide" census ordered by Augustus carried out while Quirinius was governor of Syria. This is thought to be a reference to the census of Judea in 6/7 AD; however, Luke also, like the [[Gospel of Matthew]], dates the birth to the reign of [[Herod the Great]], who died in 4 BC, ten years before the census of 6 or 7 AD. According to [[Raymond E. Brown]], most modern historians suggest that Luke's account is mistaken.<ref>Raymond Brown, ''Christ in the Gospels of the Liturgical Year'', (Liturgical Press, 2008), page 114.

Quirinius served as governor of Syria with nominal authority over Iudaea until 12, when he returned to Rome as a close associate of [[Tiberius]]. Nine years later he died and was given a public funeral.
