Caesar's Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus Page #2

(?) The Flavians, another household ???,

and yet, it's the Flavians

who completely reshape the Roman Empire.

In Rome, of course, there's the

Colosseum, which is understood to be

the best known monument of the

ancient Roman Empire, perhaps.

The Colosseum is, in fact,

a Flavian construction

produced during the Flavian period.

FLAVIAN PERIOD 69 - 96CE

Flavian Ampitheater - The Colosseum

It's under the Flavians, that both

rabbinic Judaism and

Christianity take shape.

Why would the Flavians be

interested in creating religions?

Much like today, their era was

marked by political power struggles,

a bankrupt economy, religious

conflicts and endless wars.

In amidst of this turmoil, the Flavians

seized control of the Roman Empire

and ushered in an

immense paradigm shift.

To understand the Flavians rise

to power, we need to go back

to the reign of the previous powerful

rulers, the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

JULIO-CLAUDIAN DYNASTY

Beginning with Julio

Caesar, in the year 49 BCE,

the Julio-Claudians ruled

Rome for over a hundred years,

transforming the government

from a republic into an empire.

This family contained

all the famous Caesars:

Julius, who predated the time of Jesus;

JULIUS CESAR 44 BCE

Augustus, who was Caesar at the

time of Jesus' supposed birth;

AUGUSTUS 27 BCE

Tiberius, who ruled during

Jesus' supposed death;

TIBERIUS 14 CE

followed by the infamous Caligula;

CALIGULA 37 CE

then Claudius

CLAUDIUS 41 CE

and ending the Julio-Claudian dynasty

with Nero, whose reign begins in 54 CE.

NERO 54 CE

The Julio-Claudians enjoyed a godlike

status until the family degenerated

and began to damage the Roman Empire.

By the time of Nero, his famous

decadence was bankrupting the Empire

and the Jews of Judea were staging a

huge rebelion against their Roman rulers.

Judea was one of the many conquered

provinces that made up the Roman Empire.

This region, which was

also known as Palestine,

was controlled by a family that served

as Rome's tax collector, the Herods.

(?) They were a Greco-Arab family, somewhat possible ???,

(?) though only ??? when it was convenient

to please the subjects they were given,

who were put in power in

Palestine and destroyed

the previous Jewish ruling family,

the Macabean family, root and stalk.

Besides being heavily taxed and

ruled by a non-Jewish family

put in power by Rome,

the Jews were further inflamed

by the requirement that

the statue of the Caesar

be placed for worship in every

temple throughout the empire.

In the Roman Empire, you could pretty

much have any god you want but,
