Rome's Response to the Spread of Christianity
During the 1st century CE, a sect of Jews in Jerusalem claimed that their teacher, Jesus of Nazareth, was the 'messiah' of Israel.

This is a bit of an inside joke.
There's an experiment where women ask their husbands or boyfriends how many times they thought of the Roman Empire today.
They are shocked that most of them think about it quite often, and favourably.
Of course, this prompted a cartoon from me. But I doubt he thought about it as favourably.
