Quote:As the Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus recounted in his Annals of Imperial Rome (published just a generation after the fire):
You're still an asshole, dripshit. Worse, you don't know what you are fucking talking about. Even assuming that the passage you jerk off to is not a forgery (dubious assumption at best) Tacitus' Annales (not the name he gave to it) was his last work and he died in 117 which is closer to 3 generations later than 1.
I'm sure you don't find it the least bit curious that St. Jerome and and St Augustine in the early 5th century both indicate that they read Tacitus, Augustine going so far as to comment on the licentiousness and cruelty of Nero without the slightest mention of your favorite passage offing xtians for lighting purposes! Curiosity kills xtians. You'd best not indulge in it!
