It was a pretty normal day under Roman occupation.

Ok, just want to be clear about the intent of your Topic title.

Do you really mean "today", or do you really mean "circa"? I'm thinking you can't have it both ways.

Yes, from the perspective of a Roman.

But from God's perspective it was entirely different.

Galatians 4:4,5
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Merry Christmas.

Could be a few days either side, I’m flexible.

The calendar we are using today wasn't in use 2000 years ago. Also, the territory wasn't "occupied," it was just part of the Roman Empire.
