Gnostic Christianity is fascinating and very different from what ended up as Christianity. Tacitus could have been referring to Jewish Gnosticism which broke out again after somebody was supposed to have been executed.

Once the Roman faction got firmly established they didn't show respect to anyone who believed something different to what they promoted and this takes us back to the opening post in this topic.
