Licona 'There are as many non-Christian sources who mention Jesus within 150 years of his life as there are within 150 years of the life of the Roman Emperor Tiberius who ruled during the ministry of Jesus.'

I find that impossible to believe.

Are there no letters mentioning Tiberius, no documents, no inscriptions?

Or has Licona decided he is going to ignore all such evidence for Tiberius, so that he can declare that the evidence for Tiberius is no greater than the evidence for Chrestus? (the guy Suetonius mentions)

Will statues of the guy do? How about all the inscriptions Tiberius had stuck around the place? Maybe oodles of coins? Don't worry, your guy's just another dumb apologist.
