My topic is the fall of Masada on April 15th , 73 AD
the ancient source is:
Josephus Flavius, The War of the Jewish, Book VII
which can be found at:
http://www.ccel.org/j/josephus/works/war-7.htm
the excerpt is chapter 9 titeled
"How the people that were in the fortress were prevailed on by the words
of
Eleazer, two women and five children only excepted and all submited to be
killed by one another."
I hope this is all the information that is required,
