“The family led by Seneca's friend, Lucius Piso, found itself faced with a personal problem from its allies. They were the Calpurnius Piso, descendants of statesmen and consuls, as well as great poets and historians. Gaius and Lucius Calpurnius Piso were the leaders of the senpaiilia. This senpaiilia was close to the Herodians, descendants of Herod the Great and his murdered wife, Mariamne I, and had descendants with them. Emperor Flavius Vespasianus was also part of the Herodian senpaiilia through his grandfather Herod Pollio (Vespasio Pollio), son of Aristobulus IV, one of the sons killed by King Herod the Great.
Roman generals and emperors, as well as their writer friends, lied about their humble origins to deceive the soldiers, who themselves came from the lower classes, that one day they could also be part of the military nobility.

“Repeatedly, religious fanatics in Judea were causing insurrections against the rulers of Herod of Judea, who had relations with the wife of Calpurnius Piso. Piso wished to strengthen the control of his wife's senpaiilia over the Jews. The Pisos sought a solution to both problems and found it in the sacred books of the Jews, which were the basis both for the rapid spread of the religion and for the fanatical refusal to be ruled by Roman puppets. The Pisos mocked but marveled at the Jewish belief in their sacred books. Therefore, they concluded that a new “Jewish” book would be the ideal method to pacify the Jews and strengthen the control of the country by the “in-laws.”
The Roman author Annaeus Seneca, tutor and confidant of Emperor Nero, suggested in a letter to his friend Lucilius (pseudonym Lucius Piso) that lighting candles on the Sabbath was forbidden. Seneca is later quoted by Saint Augustine (Emperor Flavius Honorius) in his book City of God, as for example:

>>18005557
“Around the year 60 AD (CE), Lucius Calpurnius Piso (Lucilius) and his friend Seneca wrote Ur Marcus, the first version of the Gospel of Mark, which no longer exists. They were assisted by the young Persius the Poet. Nero's lover (later his wife), Poppaea, was pro-Jewish, a theosebis (God-fearing). Nero loved his wife deeply and, out of respect for her memory, opposed the plans of the Herodian-Pisonians.
The result was the Pisonian conspiracy to assassinate Nero, detailed by the "historian" Tacitus (Lucius Neratius Priscus), who was a personal friend of the Flavian-Herodian-Pisonians.

But this attempt failed when the plot was aborted. Instead, Nero had Piso, Seneca, and their fellow conspirators executed by forcing them to commit suicide.”
He exiled Piso's son, Arrius, who appears in Tacitus under various names, including "Antonius Natalis."

Nero sent the young Piso to Syria as governor. This post also gave him command of the legions that controlled Judea. His own "history" records his service in Judea in 65 under the name Gessius Florus, and in 66 under the pseudonym Cestius Gallus.

>>18005557
“This Arius Calpurnius Piso deliberately provoked the Jewish revolt in 66 so that he could destroy the Temple in Jerusalem – so that the Jews would accept his father’s story and thus be pacified by him as planned. However, his legion was caught by the fanatics of Beth Horon and he was nearly killed. Nero’s reaction was to exile him to Pannonia, to command a legion there, and sent Licinius Mucianus to serve in Syria, and Vespasianus (Arius Piso’s great-uncle) to Judea to put down the Jewish revolt.”


Then, in 68, Nero was assassinated by his own slave Epaphroditus at the behest of the Flavian-Herodian-Pisonian senpaiilia.

Galba became emperor and appointed Piso's cousin, Lucinianus Piso, as his intended successor, but Galba, in turn, was soon overthrown by Otho. Otho was then overthrown by Vitellius, at which point Piso and his friends began to rally against the latter.
The Pisos,
Mucianus, and Tiberius Alexander all formed ranks behind Vespasian to try to overthrow Vitellius. They were joined by Frontinus and Agricola.

Arius Calpurnius Piso was still commanding the 7th legion in Pannonia (Austria-Hungary), and his great-uncle Vespasianus sent him—now listed in Tacitus as Marcus Antonius Primus—south across the Alps to defeat Vitellius.

Meanwhile, the main body of Vespasian's legions marched overland under Mucianus from the east toward Rome.

Piso managed to defeat Vitellius's army and secured Rome for Vespasian.

Mucianus (the friend of the Flavian family, Pliny) arrived and promptly sent him to Judea to aid Titus in the siege of Jerusalem.

He did so, and in 70 they assaulted the city, and then the Temple, burning it. They killed many thousands and sent them into slavery and to fight with gladiators.

>>18005557
“Arius Calpurnius Piso, cousin of Titus and great-nephew of Vespasianus, wrote, in sequence, the following:


Gospel of Matthew (70-75 CE)
Gospel of Mark (75-80 CE)
These had been forbidden by Titus and Vespasianus to be preached to the Roman people. They were satires to justify the destruction of the Temple. Seneca and Lucilius's initial attempt to use a new story to calm the Jews had failed.

Gospel of Luke (85-90 CE, written with the help of Pliny the Younger)
Pliny the Elder was such a great friend of Vespasianus and Titus that he dedicated his Natural History (an encyclopedia through which we can learn how the Roman elite really viewed nature) to them.
This gospel was written in defiance of Domitian, who hated his cousin Arius and the Herodians who surrounded him, such as Berenice. He had forbidden His senpaiilia preached a new religion to the Romans and persecuted his friends Pliny and Tacitus. He exiled his cousin Arius and other members of the senpaiilia.

After they succeeded in assassinating Domitian, they returned from exile and decided to try to preach a new religion.
Thus began the process of writing the New Testament.

They and their descendants evolved the story over time.
They tried to make it appear that the religion had originated with the Jewish people and not with the Roman-Jewish elite.
The contradictions in the Gospels reflected the evolution of history and were a literary technique to allow different stories to be preached to different groups. In a society where the majority were illiterate, contradictions were an advantage, as they provided openness and flexibility in preaching to an illiterate and ignorant people. Different verses were preached to different groups.

>>18005557
Furthermore, writing contradictory texts and false letters with false polemics gave the impression that the religion was larger than it actually was, and that it had originated from different groups who didn't know each other. Furthermore, nothing generates more engagement than hatred and conflicts that spark people's interest in a topic.

However, Christianity failed and died after the Jews were definitively defeated in 135 AD.
Yet it continued to be developed and preached by the elite descended from the Flavian-Herodian-Pisonian family to members of the elite army.

For almost 200 years, what we have is the elite opposing Christianity in conflict with the elite that was developing the religion.

In 166, the Roman Empire suffered a measles plague, and by 270, it entered a profound crisis that nearly destroyed it.
Those who managed to end this crisis were Diocletian, who created the institution of serfdom, and Aurelian, who took the first steps toward monotheism by establishing the cult of the god Sol Invictus on December 25, 274. The emperor attempted to unite the empire in crisis under a single religion and a single god, Sol. To this end, he created an entire structure to serve the new imperial religion.

But this religion lacked something that proved effective in a moment of profound crisis: a savior messiah.

Flavius Constantinus, a descendant of the Flavian-Herodian-Pisonian tribes by blood, was a priest of Sol. He then allowed his relatives and friends to freely preach a religion that not only had a solar god, but also a suffering messiah.
This suffering messiah, who was also a solar god like Sol and Mithras, promised the poor, serfs, and slaves that they would be saved, provided they respected social hierarchies, worked hard, and accepted their earthly suffering.

Elaborate? Good write up by the way.

In 195 AD, Septimius Severus was posthumously adopted by the deified emperor Marcus Aurelius.
This allowed him to associate his dynasty with the successful Antonine dynasty.

As part of this connection, Severus's son, Caracalla, was named "Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Caesar," and as such, was technically included in the Antonine dynasty, ensuring the transmission of its power.

According to Professor Rafael Nascimento, Septimius Severus wrote as Tertullian.

The Christian apologist Tertullian praised Marcus Aurelius as a "protector" and "patron" of the church, primarily due to the emperor's intervention on behalf of Christians in a supposed trial.

According to the professor, Athenagoras, who wrote a work apologizing for Christianity for Marcus Aurelius, was a descendant of the Flavians named Titus Flavius Piso.

Titus Flavius Piso was a Roman equestrian who held at least two high offices during the reign of Emperors Marcus Aurelius and Commodus.

>Diocletian, who created the institution of serfdom
You have no idea what you are talking about. Serfdom is a far later institution that never existed in the Roman Empire
>a descendant of the Flavian-Herodian-Pisonian tribes by blood
The man descended from Illyrian peasants is actually part of a royal family and previous imperial clan?

Constantine’s father had the title Flavian and Domitian did lay the ground work for serfdom via coloni and related edicts.

>>18005697
>Constantine’s father had the title Flavian
This doesn't make him related to the Flavian dynasty.
>Domitian did lay the ground work for serfdom via coloni and related edicts.
You mean Diocletian and that's still not serfdom, 'related edicts' being none, because bounding tenants to land was a law directed the the Western Prefecture by Constantine, not Diocletian and it didn't affect 3/4ths of the entire Empire.

>>18005704
>doesn’t make him related to the Flavian dynasty
I know you understand the implications of emperors adding familial titles albeit political
>related edicts being none
Price of Edict was set to freeze wages and created a system that fixed people in occupational roles- removed job mobility for peasants
>capitatio iugatio
A tax law that created a system that tied land and labor that necessitated keeping people fixed on land
>because bounding tenants to land was a law directed the the Western Prefecture by Constantine, not Diocletian
True, Constantine made coloni first to return if they fled their land but this was merely a formalization of the way things were already going; Constantine didn’t invent the idea, he extended it.
>didn’t affect 3/4ths of the empire
True again, but the point isn’t that every single inch of the empire became feudal overnight but that it was obvious this is the model that the empire was inevitably moving towards. It originated under Diocletian and was formalized empirically under Constantine

>>18005735
>adding familial titles albeit political
That doesn't imply any relationship with earlier families.
>Price of Edict was set to freeze wages
The price edict was abandoned months after it was enacted.
>and created a system that fixed people in occupational roles- removed job mobility for peasants
This is also from Constantine and was highly limited to certain places and professions, for example when it came to bakers as far as we know it only applied to ones in the city of Rome itself as it was addressed to the Prefect of the city. The only real universal one was conscription for soldiers which actually did start with Diocletian.
>True, Constantine made coloni first to return if they fled their land but this was merely a formalization of the way things were already going
If this was the case then the law would have been promulgated to the rest of the Empire, but it wasn't. It was an address to the Western Praetorian Prefecture in response to an issue of tenants leaving estates and was only actually legally binding in Gaul and Spain. A tenant in Anatolia of North Africa was on paper completely free from these restrictions
>but the point isn’t that every single inch of the empire became feudal overnight but that it was obvious this is the model that the empire was inevitably moving towards
The Empire was never moving towards feudalism and it never did. The state was the only entity with any real power. Feudalism wouldn't even emerge until the 9th century. They are basically two completely unrelated events.

>>18005759
You’re either autistic for being so semantic or disingenuous if you don’t see how this evolved into feudalism. Modern academia even agrees on this. It’s simply the evolution of the system

Suetonius was a heteronym (character-author) of Emperor Titus Antoninus Pius, adopted (or real?) son of Claudia Pompeia Plotina Phoebe, who appears in Romans 16:1-2 as Sister Phoebe (Phoebe) being praised by Paul.

*Tacitus was a heteronym of Lucius Neratius Priscus, elected consul in 97 after the assassination of Domitian in 96 by the creators of Jesus.

*Paul of Tarsus was created by Pliny the Younger.
Although Paul was created by Pliny the Younger, his Roman Herodian-Maccabean friends helped him write the adventures and letters of this character.

*Flavius Josephus, Philo of Alexandria, Plutarch, and others were hereronyms (author-characters) of the same Man, Arrius Calpurnius Piso.

*Saint Augustine was a heteronym of Flavius Honorius, emperor son of Emperor Flavius Theodosius.

*Eusebius of Caesarea was a heteronym of Flavius Julius Constantius, brother of Emperor Flavius Constantinus.

*Father Clement of Rome was a heteronym of Julius Calpurnius Piso.

*Tertullian was a heteronym of Emperor Septimus Severus, a descendant of Flavius Titus and ancestor of Flavius Constantinus.

>semantic
All history is semantic
>disingenuous
You are literally making up shit and lying.
>Modern academia even agrees on this
Who says it then? The most I've ever heard was that it was a precursor to serfdom, which also pretends like the invading peoples did not have their own systems of bondage and unfree status which they applied to Romans.
>It’s simply the evolution of the system
>peasants=tied to land
That means nearly every society in human history was feudal as far back as Old Kingdom Egypt and Sumeria. Feudalism is a political system, not a blank idea of people being tenants or bonded to land which is something some broad it could apply to nearly every society on Earth before the early modern period.
