The Roman writer Tacitus is supposed to have written about Nero blaming the Christians for trying to burn down Rome. This is used as "proof" that Jesus actually existed. Tacitus is supposed to have named him in his writings.. However ... this supposed "fact" was not mentioned by anyone prior to the 14th century. Also ... the years 29-31 ad were apparently removed from Tactitus' account (his Annals)
