Eusebius, Tertullian, and Chrysostom are significant figures among the other “fathers” of the early “Christianity”, especially the first one who is considered by many (with some question marks) as the “Father of Church History”. The first two of them mention that Tiberius Caesar Augustus the second Roman emperor, ruling from AD 14 to 37, who received reports about Jesus, proposed to the Senate, the deification of Jesus, but they ultimately rejected the proposal due to Roman legal procedures.
It was also reported by Aelius Lampridius a Roman historiographer known for his contributions to the Historia Augusta, which was a collection of imperial biographies, that in his “Life of Alexander Severus” known also as Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander, who reigned during 222-235 AD , that “This emperor had two chapels, one more honorable than the other and in the formed were placed all deified emperors and some eminent good men, among them Abraham, Christ and Orpheus”.
It isn’t then surprising that Constantine chose Jesus (or was he Hesus?) as the Messiah of the invented by the Romans new cult! Besides, didn’t he commission Eusebius to compile the Christian Bible after the Synod of Nicaea?
