Is there a project that covers these pre-1700 people?

I want to contribute to the deep genealogy on our shared tree. I am interested in adding people from the Herodium Dynasty (70BC-100AD).  I only have the pre 1700 badge and will need a pre 1500 badge in order to enter people after 1AD. 

While I am asked to provide some profiles of a pre 1700 nature, I have none at this time.  An example of later era works is: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Marvin-1080  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Baldwin-14022 

Here are the sources I am using: Josephus Antiquities of the Jew; War of the Jews.  There are also a few other minor sources. 

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!  Best regards,  LeEric

WikiTree does not allow BC profiles.

Thanks Ros,   I am aware of the BC era not workable. I'll focus on the after 1AD profiles instead.  Right now I can't add anything before 1500 without that badge.  Can my post 1700 entries be evaluated for 1500's badge?    Or must I have to accomplish some work on some 1500-1700 profiles?

Also, what would be the best categories for adding Josephus sources of his 4 history books of that era?   Would "World History", "Jewish History" and should I add a category? How do I do that?  Or drill down one more level, which?  And then how do I add the source?  

On the other hand, maybe his 4 books are already here?  Then how do I find them?

Thanks,  LeEric

Hi LeEric. The pre-1500 certification process is described at

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Pre-1500_Profiles#Pre-1500_Certification

including a link to the request form. Either a pre-1700 profile or a project-protected one where you've contributed significantly is required.
