The 15th of Tiberius Caesar which must have been in the year Sept 28-sept 29 CE.
Then John preached for half a year when Jesus started his mission.
An alternate time frame might be this.
According to wikipedia
Quote:Thus, when in AD 13, the powers held by Tiberius were made equal, rather than second, to Augustus's own powers, he was for all intents and purposes a "co-princeps" with Augustus, and in the event of the latter's passing, would simply continue to rule without an interregnum or possible upheaval.
Thus if 13 AD was his first year 27 AD (not 28) would be his 15th year.
You might find this of some interest.
