1. Galilean

   Generically, a Galilean is an inhabitant of Galilee. Galileans were also the members of a fanatical sect, followers of Judas of Galilee, who fiercely resented the taxation of the Romans, and whose violence contributed to induce the latter to vow the extermination of the whole race. The term was used by late antique pagan reactionaries such as the Emperor Julian as a contemptuous synonym for Christian.
