Christ and the Caesars: The Origin of Christianity from the Mythology of Rome and Greece

Christ and the Roman Caesars, the theme of this work, were, for us, not only contemporaries brought together in the first two centuries of the Common Era by an accident of history or by predestination and a providence watching over the fate of mankind; they were set together either as friendly parallels or placed next to each other as a pair of enemies. Upon first entering my picture gallery, the friendly reader will get the feeling--and it will become a certainty while proceeding through it--that the Christian Savior and those representing the Roman Empire are products of the same power that sought to combine the punishments and immaterial goods of antiquity into one personal, Almighty Being, and that within this antagonistic pair of siblings was manifested one and the same drive, which was inspired by the Orient, Greece and Rome in a common purpose.
