I hold no position in opposition to your thesis. Antiquity is fragmented. Pre-Constantine I believe there is no monumental architecture for Jesus. No cult. Thus the existence pre-Constantine is quite likely a "just so" story. Julius on the other hand requires some discussion of fraud. Why the need wholesale to invent not only his life, but his books and mint coins and have statues? How does this story benefit the man who became Augustus? https://www.romanemperors.com/blog/unearthing-history-julius-caesars-artifacts-and-their-significance
