It also discusses how the various characters called Joseph are equated with the Rich Young Ruler, and in turn how this is related to both an individual called Arrius Piso (which may or may not be a title used by Titus), and how he is presented as a God, who is exempt from the requirement to give away your money to go to heaven.

I show how disparate passages contain linked text apparently designed to lead the informed reader to connect them, as if providing riddles that could provide messages without being detected by the Roman censors.
This seems to have the goal of providing underground or ‘guerrilla’ literature that could be freely circulated without being detected by the Roman censors. It may have had the goal of providing material for young Jews to study which could be explained in private, or to embed a message indelibly within the Jewish religious texts saying that Christianity was a Roman Idolatry, in both cases to promote a resistance mindset to deter individuals from being converted – and all without the document arousing suspicion.
This is valuable, since it gives an insight into what the authors of the Talmud understood about the creation of Jesus’ story. The centuries during which the Talmud were written, were characterized by government censorship, meaning that covert messages are a source of insight to that which other sources may obscure.
I will overview several examples, seeking to address: 1 Whether Jesus is equated with Vespasian and Titus, 2. Whether Arrius is identified as a key individual, and 3. Whether the Talmud points to Arrius and Titus as being the different people, or the same person.
As with my 4th paper, I refrain from taking a position on whether Arrius Piso was a title of Titus Flavius, or a contemporary roman royal who was merely related to Titus. However I do take the opportunity to show that the evidence, or at least that evidence which I can see, does not seem to rule the former out, and perhaps should not be disregarded as a possibility.

The paper reviews Titus Andronicus, but then explores beyond the subject matter of Atwill's book by identifying the significance of Hercules and Samson in various plays, and showing how Romeo and Juliet can be read with a second hidden meaning by changing the spelling of the two protagonists names, explores the metaphors used in Cymbeline, and discusses the possibility that the author was referring to Arrius Piso.
The paper is written for readers who already understand the theory that the Flavian Emperors were responsible for the creation of the Christian Gospels.
An Appendix is included, discussing evidence that the author of the Shakespeare plays was Emilia Lanier.

When the locations of the parallels are plotted in as a star chart (per Hipparchus) they form lines, spelling the Latin letters APTVS, although the APT may not be original.
The way the documents parody each other, and work together to form that pattern, demonstrates that Luke and War of the Jews were created together, and since the latter was undeniably produced for the roman government, so was Luke.
It is shown mathematically, in section 5b, that this pattern cannot be the result of ‘finding patterns in noise’ e.g. in a biassed fashion.
A thesis is also presented, that explains these observations:
1. A first revelation was planned, where Jesus’ story would be shown to mirror that of the Emperor who destroyed Jerusalem, to reveal him as Jesus’ second coming, to make the people worship the Emperor.
2. A second revelation was planned for when they were ‘hooked’ on worshipping the Emperor (alongside Jesus), revealing concealed proof that the roman government invented Jesus’ story, in order to leave the followers as ‘pure’ Emperor worshippers. This explains why such proof is available to be found.
It is likely that the original signature was just ‘VS’, pointing to a goal of making people the worship Vespasian, with the ‘APT’ added via the surviving version of War of the Jews, to make the people worship Titus.
3. The plan was disrupted by Vespasian’s death, and Titus’ death two years later. Domitian, and all subsequent rulers prevented this information from becoming known, since making people see Jesus as a forerunner of their predecessors posed a threat to their rule (and for Constantine and the early Catholic Church, it was an even graver threat that people might discover that there is proof that Jesus’ story was the roman’s invention).
The paper also shows that Josephus Flavius’ pivotal life story is a carefully hidden parody of Jesus’ story, which shows that propaganda was not a blind spot for the otherwise strategically brilliant romans, and that seemingly independent and honest sources were operating as carefully disguised government mouthpieces.

I demonstrate that by combining Dr Atwill's discoveries with my own (as recently published in my separate article), this provides a 'smoking gun' proof that the Flavians invented Jesus in Luke, relying only on easily verifiable evidence. I conclude discussing how the parallels of the two parodies are arranged such that when plotted they form lines spelling out letters containing the Flavian emperor's initials, which provides further evidence that these parodies were intentional.

I go on to describe the key sequence of parallels linking Jesus to Titus and Vespasian, and demonstrate an intentionally rich, yet deliberately well-hidden parody between the story of Jesus and War of the Jews.

Very surprisingly, Josephus wrote his life story in War of the Jews to be a significant part of a carefully concealed, yet extremely detailed, parody of the story of Jesus Christ. This article continues to show that the arrangement of parallels that form this parody are not distributed randomly, but have the form of at least four sequences, including one where the parallels are in the same order in both documents, and another in opposite order. When their locations are plotted these form diagonal lines, and this pattern is clearly intentional. This demonstrates that the parody of Jesus' story extends beyond Josephus' life story, is a theme threaded throughout War of the Jews, and that the parallels cannot be explained as coincidences. The overt references to Jesus' story in Josephus' works are shown to be present from the outset, as originally written, but they cannot be considered to be the kind of 'innocent, in passing' references that would lend credence to the historicity of Jesus Christ.
