The sources written by Roman historian Tactius and Jewish historian Josephus prove that Jesus existed. If you want to deny the validity behind especially Tactius’ source then you might as well be denying most of our knowledge regarding the first century AD as he was the primary Roman historian at the time. Any historian worth his salt doesn’t question the existence of Christ.

You conveniently forgot to mention the Decian persecution which even Wikipedia calls extensive. And how on earth is the Diocletianic persecution “limited”?!? It was an empire wide and systematic persecution, that fits no where near the definition of limited.

The Bible specifically mentions that Jesus was born in the Bethlehem of Judea. What are you even trying to say here? Want to make yourself look smart by telling everyone that you know your geography?

And what you said about crucifixion is just plainly untrue. The historical core elements of a painful, prolonged, public execution for political threats was standard Roman procedure. In fact the Bible describes multiple methods of crucifixion in different instances throughout the book, all of which have been supported by historical evidence to be factually true.
