Is Jesus Historical? What Do The Romans Say About Him?

On this video we will have a deep historical research into the most important mentions in Latin about Jesus of Nazareth by non Christian authors such as Roman emperors, magistrates, lawyers, military officers etc. We will discuss the validity of such testimonies, and try to understand if Jesus of Nazareth really is a historical figure or if his existence was just a myth.

I respect your dedication to historical accuracy, but there is nowadays a wide consensus among historians about the fact that ancient Romans in the military rarely, if never, wore their helmets while recording a YouTube video. This had been prohibited during the Marius reforms for the metal noise was often a problem with the microphonae.

"Sir, there is this guy in Judea that can multiply fish and bread."
"Hire him immediately for the logistics department."

It's so nice of this roman legionaire to time travel to our time and explain history.

As mentioned by others below, as a Christian and history enthusiast it's great to see such researched and respectful content. Keep up the awesome work.

"This guy in Judea can turn water into wine"
"Watered wine?"
"No, pure wine."
"Barbarian"

This video sums up why I love your work and channel. Not only is your research and commentary spot on, but it's so balanced and so meticulously thought out. It is so easy and so common to riddle an analysis with bias. Thank you so much for not doing that. There isn't a video you post that I don't feel more enlightened by (or sometimes just validated, like the Netflix Cleopatra reaction).

Thank you again for all the hard work you put into this channel.

This is an argument I posed 31 years ago in a college class in Roman history. I did my thesis on the Legions. A personal love of mine. However, your use related sources was great. It was so wonderful to hear you echo a class argument. I used the same in a bibical study of the New Testament class. This was fun!

The only time I've ever received a lecture about Jesus by a man wearing Roman armour :)

Dude asks Roman official about Jewish guy they crucified. Roman reaction- "Ummmm that doesn't narrow things down at all."

This recount of the historical Jesus was truly excellent. Very informative and done without any bias of any kind.

[courtneymartinez]

That was a fantastic video, please make this a series! I appreciate your honesty and historical accuracy

Romans: Didn't we crucify you three days ago?
Jesus: I got better

[miecraftandmoregames]

metatron saying that the video isn't biased while wearing a roman armor is quite funny.

[LouisGiliberto]

Fair evaluation and well-explained reasoning. You never disappoint, sir.

[gregjohnson]

What a very detailed historical account of the person Jesus as I have never heard of the times of birth and death, much appreciated and I see that you have a follow-up video on what he may have looked like and I will watch that one next. Thank you!

*Someone is literally making people rise from the dead and feeding the poor through cloning food*

Romans: _Is he paying his taxes though?_

[MrKnight]

People talking about history while dressed the part is vastly under rated.

[Horusthebetrayer]

This is a really cool video; it is awesome to see that there are people who go about trying to check the validity of historical figures based on different testimonies and texts outside of that individuals home region/faith/religion. Keep up the good work.
Also, are there links to some of these texts for further reading/education?

[Daisydarthvader]

Just found you and really enjoying going through these! These are great!
