No we don't, the issue is settled.
There is not one credible dispute against Tacitus.
Not. One.
Yes there is, a) the original version of the copy of the Annales we have from the 11th century CE didn't mention christians once, it mentioned chrestians all right but a monk came along and badly rubbed out the "e" to make an "i". 2) What do you make of the fact that the church destroyed every copy of what Tacitus wrote about the period between 30CE and 37CE? That is not the actions of a church who had in their possession books written by a man who either knew about or was willing to acknowledge their cult.
Factio Republicanus delenda est!
