Wrong, shithead.
Tacitus - probable forgery - never mentions any jesus.
Neither do Suetonius or Pliny the YOUNGER ( not the Elder, you can't even get that right.) They all mention christians...or mre probably chrestians but never heard of any fucking jesus.
Josephus is a 4th century forgery which indicates that the forgers did not have actual references to your alleged godboy so they had to make some up.
Feel free to present anything by Plutarch mentioning your godboy. This should be entertaining.
The same goes for Strabo which should be even better as he died c 24 AD which is somewhat before your godboy story showed up on the scene.
Like Strabo, Valerius Maximus - not Maximum - was an early first century writer. Almost nothing is known of him but he does comment on the overthrow of Sejanus c 31 so he was still alive at that time. Again, let's see the original source material.
Marcus Velleius Paterculus died in 31 and the speculation is that he was put to death in the aftermath of the Sejanus attempted coup. Again, let's see what you've got. My guess is that you haven't got shit.
Finally, Lucius Annaeus Seneca was the victim of a notorious fraud by later xtian writers who pretended to have some letters between him and the equally phony "paul."

Quote:The letters, however, are clear fiction, obviously intended to enlist the prestige and authority of the philosopher in support of the Christian faith.
Even xtians are ashamed of such obvious forgeries. You, it would seem, have no shame.
