Perhaps you can point me to some ancient examples of losers who have recorded their own defeats in battle. As for the basic reliability of the bible as history, the book of Acts is but one example of first class historical accuracy. If archeology confirms the basic facts of the narrative then the other historical claims, even though they may not be verifiable, cannot be dismissed. apologeticsinfo.org Sir William Ramsey, St. Paul the Traveller and Roman Citizen (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Baker Book House reprint; 1949 from 1894 lectures). Intent on discrediting Luke's writings, in the last century this hostile scholar traveled across the Mediterranean to that end. But he was astonished to discover that his archaeological findings confirmed the full accuracy of the customs, locations, and the governing titles (e.g. "magistrates" Acts 16:35; "proconsul" Acts 18:12) Luke had mentioned. These varied widely from region to region. Ramsey concluded, "Great historians are the rarest of writers...[I regard Luke] among the historians of the first rank" (pp. 3-4) christiananswers.net
