Jesus Christ and Julius Caesar
Legend tells us a young rabbinical Hebrew Rebel named Jesus Christ was at the same time Caesar was planning to revolutionize the world, was also engaged in the same process, only spiritually.
Much to the chagrin of the Pharisees and the Jewish King who were alleged to be incensed that the young Rabbi was purported to be the scion and offspring by immaculate conception to a virgin and their never named God, that would later be named by Christians as Yahweh or Jehovah.

Legend tells us, that he spread his words and teachings far and wide, promising redemption, promising a better way of life.
Much like Caesar had promised a better way of life by establishing a dictatorship for Rome.
There are just a few problems. Archeological records reveal no existence of a Yahweh, the closest thing to that name are the nearly completely erased records of Yahweseh, Canaanite God of Pirates and Mercenaries, which the Hebrews happened to be very good at both.
The second problem was that the Hebrew money lenders were becoming increasingly worried about Rome’s constant political turmoil and the security of their loans to it which were growing increasingly large.
Rome’s never ending internal conflicts, expansions, and bread and circuses were slowly bankrupting it, and if it failed, the Pharisees and Hebrew Money Lenders stood to loose a fortune.
A better system would have to be developed and introduced that would allow for the continuation of the Roman Expansion but much more economically, at a reduced risk of failure.
Rome had become too big to fail!
Caesars ideas of mathematical warfare were sound, and rooted in logic and wisdom, they were worth bankrolling, but a new system would have to be devised to make it work.

Of Rome’s many slaves imported into the Empire were a small but growing group of slaves from Britannia
whose Druid sect worshiped a figure called Christ.
A religion of just a small group of slaves, it had great potential for a great plan that would ensure Rome’s success, and the Pharisees loan.
It would take some doing to pull it off, and set it up, but the Pharisees were prepared to go along and make it all happen, for the power and wealth it would bestow on them.
