Roman:
Venus was regularly considered to be the patroness of Rome, though. The reverse etymological considerations then have a grain of truth, if not the whole loaf.
A little different than the Jesus account, you will admit. In so much as Jesus' account was neither an act of war, nor one which dared the impossible in any other sense.
I stand corrected! Galilee, however, was part of the Roman Empire at the time.
So did George Washington. But George Washington was not Jesus. Nor was William the Conqueror, who sailed across the English channel.
Moreover, the Sea of Ionia naval battle you mentioned was where Caesar faced inclement weather. These were two different events.
You also made an error: Juilus Caesar died in 44 -BC-. Jesus lived during the reign of Augustus and Tiberius.
Pantera does not mean "all Earth" unless we mix Greek (pan) and Latin (terra). It means "leopard". Hence the English "panther" and the scientific genus "pantera" as in Pantera tigris tigris.

What think you of that article as reflective of the research you have done on the matter?
Also, it should be noted that Judaism had its own form of temple prostitution. I'd have to find you the reference form the Old Testament, but there is a story of a father selling his daughter to the temple for that service.
Aeneas and Yeshua (the original version of Jesus' name) are not very similar. Even in the Greek version of Jesus' name - Iesus - Aeneas is rather different.
A pseudonym held by Christian authors at the time? Or later believers in such, ala "The Davinci Code"?
I've read that in several sources, yes. Jesus, Mithra, and Horus are exceptionally alike out of all of them.
I'll have to verify this and whether or not Marc Anthony's declarations were to be considered commonly held by the people, outside of hyperbolic demi-hero worship.
But nonetheless, it is interesting stuff.
Quite true, quite true.
Ha! I like that!
It seemed a fairly common thing to do in classic times. If I rcall correctly, (false) etymology was also used to reinforce the agruments of Roman rhetoricians.
Venus was regularly considered to be the patroness of Rome, though. The reverse etymological considerations then have a grain of truth, if not the whole loaf.
M*W: The climate wasn't the comparison. The comparison was about the rivers that were crossed. Jesus crossed the Jordan and Julius crossed the Rubicon. However, from my second reference Carotta states the following:
"A year after crossing the Rubicon and besieging Corfinium, Caesar crossed the turbulent Ionian Sea in winter with just a few ships, and landed near the Ceraunic Cliffs where he dared the unbelievable: even though outnumbered, from the mountains he laid siege to all the troops of Pompeius, who controlled the coast.
A little different than the Jesus account, you will admit. In so much as Jesus' account was neither an act of war, nor one which dared the impossible in any other sense.
"In 6 AD Judea became part of a larger Roman province, called Iudaea, which was formed by combining Judea, Samaria, and Idumea. It did not include Galilee, Gaulanitis (the Golan), nor Peraea or the Decapolis."
I stand corrected! Galilee, however, was part of the Roman Empire at the time.
M*W: I think this is moot. They each crossed a river in inclement weather. However, when replying to your point, I realized that Jesus was said to have died in 33 AD and Julius died in 44 AD. Pretty weird!
So did George Washington. But George Washington was not Jesus. Nor was William the Conqueror, who sailed across the English channel.
Moreover, the Sea of Ionia naval battle you mentioned was where Caesar faced inclement weather. These were two different events.

M*W: A play on words about Pantera -- doesn't that mean like "many lands?" Then there was the god Pan and doesn't "tera" or "terra" mean Earth. Could Pantera be a name for the "god of the earth?" I don't believe Jesus existed, so I don't believe he had a real or divine father.
Pantera does not mean "all Earth" unless we mix Greek (pan) and Latin (terra). It means "leopard". Hence the English "panther" and the scientific genus "pantera" as in Pantera tigris tigris.
For more information on temple prostitutes, again, not to be confused with common street walkers, the following references are available.

M*W: The spelling of their names.
Aeneas and Yeshua (the original version of Jesus' name) are not very similar. Even in the Greek version of Jesus' name - Iesus - Aeneas is rather different.
M*W: No, I find it a favorable comparison. On the cross, Jesus said "woman behold thy son, John behold thy mother." I won't get into it here that John was a pseudonym for Mary Magdalen.
A pseudonym held by Christian authors at the time? Or later believers in such, ala "The Davinci Code"?
Were there not some 16 dying demigod saviors born of virgins on December 25?
I've read that in several sources, yes. Jesus, Mithra, and Horus are exceptionally alike out of all of them.
M*W: This is quoted from Carotta's book Jesus was Caesar.

M*W: I don't put much faith into the intelligence of John Q. rePublic, even in Italy. When I was in Rome, I did what everybody else was doing (having Espresso).
Quite true, quite true.
M*W: I like to give pet names to people, like my new grandson who is 22 days old. I call him "Little Precious." That's because I called his two year-old brother "Precious." Now I call them "Big Precious" and "Little Precious." As soon as the older one is old enough to understand, I'll start calling them "BP" and "LP." But that's just me. I'm their "Nannie."
Ha! I like that!
