Yeah - they despise facts because they have none....and we have plenty.
As the emperor himself tell us, the lustrum was concerned with the number of Roman citizens which even had he existed jesus was not.
Augustus did not give a fuck how many jews there were. That was a matter of no importance. Curiously, the last lustrum of Roman citizens was conducted by Vespasian at the end of the civil wars which put him on the throne. Vespasian's lustrum was much closer in time to the date when this gospel horseshit was cobbled together.
Quote:8. When I was consul the fifth time (29 B.C.E.), I increased the number of patricians by order of the people and senate. I read the roll of the senate three times, and in my sixth consulate (28 B.C.E.) I made a census of the people with Marcus Agrippa as my colleague. I conducted a lustrum, after a forty-one year gap, in which lustrum were counted 4,063,000 heads of Roman citizens. Then again, with consular imperium I conducted a lustrum alone when Gaius Censorinus and Gaius Asinius were consuls (8 B.C.E.), in which lustrum were counted 4,233,000 heads of Roman citizens. And the third time, with consular imperium, I conducted a lustrum with my son Tiberius Caesar as colleague, when Sextus Pompeius and Sextus Appuleius were consuls (14 A.C.E.), in which lustrum were counted 4,937,000 of the heads of Roman citizens. By new laws passed with my sponsorship, I restored many traditions of the ancestors, which were falling into disuse in our age, and myself I handed on precedents of many things to be imitated in later generations.
