Are you a historian? Your username sounds somewhat... familiar. And the level of detail into the Tacitus/Gospel mix is quite deep.

- Archelaos 3y ago> Are you a historian? Not quite, but almost. Just follow the links in my profile page to learn more about me and my projects. My username is a literal translation of my first name into Ancient Greek. > And the level of detail into the Tacitus/Gospel mix is quite deep. Actually, it is not so difficult to dive a little deeper. The basic question ist: What are the sources of our knowledge? Bret Devereaux's blog is really excellent in demonstrating how it is done. If a topic catches your attention, my first advice is, to find out what the most important sources for our knowledge are. And then look at the sources. Even if you are not trained in Latin or Ancient Greek you can still dive a little deeper with the help of a dictionary or an encyclopedia. Therefore my first advice to anyone interested in ancient Mediterranean history is to learn the Greek alphabet. You should already know most of the letters from mathematics and physics anyway.
