Oh and Tacitus was born in AD 56 not AD 64, you added another 8 years.
And your idea that this was too far apart from the lifetime of Jesus is fucking mornoic.
Would an historian today born in 1980 not be qualified to write a book about 1950's post war Britain?
What about a scholar born in 1980 writing about a man who lived 2000 years ago? We know more about the Roman world 2000 years and several cultures detached, then Tacitus did writing 30 years later, and as a part of that world?
Seriously, think about what you are saying before you speak. It might help.
Again, no offense.![]()
