TBH said he wanted someone to prove Julius Caesar came to Britain. Found it in a very old History Book. From 1924.
There's a timechart in it. It says Julius Caesar came to Britain 55, 54 B.C.
And he was murdered in 44 B.C.
Doesn't give any sources for the information, though. Point taken.

BUT where do we know this from? Is it his book, "The Gallic Wars"? which is of course, him writing about himself (if he did write it) and we have approximately 10 medieval copies dating back to the earliest at about 1000 AD if anyone wants a read: classics.mit.edu/Caesar/gallic.htmlMy point in the earlier thread was, 22,000 manuscripts and copies that date back to within about 30 years of the time is not a bad effort for the New Testament. Yet Julius Caesar is "true" and the New testament is myth. and even that little equation does not include the Roman Empire trying to eradicate the New Testament writings. What was it that caused the explosion of excitement and was so newsworthy? I am fascinated by the fact the New Testament talks of events that fulfill approximately 450 predictions made in Jewish Tradition about the coming of a Messiah, some things within the control of the writers, but other things, like the type of death, city of birth and who his ancestors were still accurately followed what was predicted 600 years before.

There are hundreds of texts and documents from around the time that Caeser invaded Britain (AD49 by the way) including the Agricola and the Annals of Imperial Rome by Tacitus. Its been a while since the degree but there are probably somewhere around another 40 or 50 ocumentations from generals etc from this time.

Does anyone deny that a Jesus of Nazereth existed Dave? Don't think so. The debate was about the miricals performed and him being the son of God - how you can prove that is beyond me.
I wonder if, in another 2000 years time, people will worship the likes of Derren Brown. After all he can do some pretty amazing stuff

Interestingly Tacitus describes Jesus though he was obviously not a believer Christus: Annals 15.44.2-8 "Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus,
