Josephus was a 4th century forgery. Not a single xtian writer prior to that famed liar, Eusebius, makes reference to it. The third-century xtian apologist, Origen, made specific reference to Book XVIII of Antiquities of the Jews and still did not make reference to this piece of bullshit.

I will be back to answer these questions later. I need to read back over some material that I have not read for some time, my memory is a little vague.
I have not given up on Caesar, although his carcass has probably decayed somewhat.
