I have recently posted a page in review of Jay Raskin's
new book "The Evolution of Christs and Christianities".

At that page, Jay has allowed me to present his treatment
of the purported "christian references" in both Tacitus and
Seutonius, which he presents in a section of his book
entitled DID EUSEBIUS MAKE INTERPOLATIONS
INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S TEXTS?

The chief suspect of this interpolation act, according to the
treatment provided by Jay Raskin, outlined on the above page,
is our dear friend and guide upon the untrodden path, Eusebius
