Loves me the wiki. There honestly isn't much to this one. I would be careful of calling this the strongest evidence for a historical christ, if I were the type of person that wished to argue FOR a historical christ. Nevertheless, there it is.
Yep that one is weak. The 15:44 reference in Tacitus Annals is only him referring to a sect of Christians that are proclaiming some man Christ as their saviour.
