    I find it hard to believe there’s no evidence, I mean, the Romans ruled half the world and were meticulous and methodical in their record keeping. I find it difficult to imagine they have no historical records of Iesus Nazaretum.

      Which is why a high profile trial of a famous Rabbi initiated by another famous Rabbi that involved the governor pardoning a known mass murderer to appease a mob just… not making the histories… would be bizarre.

      Of course, this is also two millennia in hindsight and on the eve of a nasty uprising of Jewish dissidents at Masada.

      It isn’t unreasonable to believe the histories of this period were deliberately purged or suppressed, and only survived as oral tradition, for the next two centuries.
