Rome sentenced The Galilean figure (and later 2 of his sons) over his tax revolt, but also that figure according to Josephus had robed and burned down peoples shacks if they paid Rome. The Pilate Era River Jordan figure was sentenced for also leading a revolt against Rome. Rome, as Shimon has been stating, liked to mock cultures, & if you look closely they left a zinger when they told of the story of Satan offering Jesus fame and popularity, and it was Rome that did just that, so the character in the myth supposedly rejects that, dies by the hand of his adversary, and his adversary made him popular anyway, lifts him higher than the Baal mythology he was used to mask over=they were admitting they were the hinderers destabilizers adversaries (Sawtawn). They even left that hint in their main symbol where it took the death of the son of Baal (morning star) to overshadow his father Baal, the crucified figure is ON TOP OF (MASKING) the Sun symbol formerly the Baal cross (circle behind the cross). It's a revamp of the Canaanite rites of Athtar the fierce where the son of Baal (morning star) must die to surpass his father on the throne. It's how Baal masked his father Dagon, the fishman god, seen also all over the RCC church from the fishead mitre to the scale robes to the Popes fishman god ring, which by the way I saw the Pope had turned quarter way around on his finger in a pic, I guess so nobody would see the Dagon symbol if not coincidental.
