The co-regency of Tiberius which modern historians dated on 12 AD was 3 years too early, so the correct date of Tiberius' co-regency was actually on 15 AD instead. And Tiberius' 15th year was on 29-30 AD.

Ok, let's back up. How are you establishing that it was 3 years too early?

Did the 42nd year of the Battle of Actium change somewhere too?

Are you saying that all the well established campaigns in Gaul are all dated wrong, and the Battle of Actium too?

You're having to do a lot of funny math here and change a lot history to come up with your 29 baptism year. Plus, you're 3 years past the beginning of the year of Jubilee, which can be proven to have been AD 26-27 from Josephus alone.

I already told you, Cassius Dio said a total solar eclipse visible in Rome occurred just before Augustus' death. No such eclipse occurred on the wrong historical date 14 AD, but there was one on 17 AD. And this is why Roman historical dates were 3 years too early during Christ's time.

Ok, that's completely irrational. Moving the date of Augustus up to a visible solar eclipse in Rome in AD 17 in no way moves Tiberius up three years with it. The campaigns in Gaul from 9-10 are dated on their own sources, not an eclipse in 17.

You're trying to base all of this on the possible death date of Augustus in 17 rather than the historical fact of the confirmation of Tiberius on Sept. 18, AD 12.

And that's where you're making your mistake.

That's where this thesis falls apart.

Any graduate theology professor would tell you to go start over from square one and fix it.

Your date of the eclipse and Augustus' death in 17 may be well founded. But your date for Tiberius is not.
 Quoting: anastasis888

Seutonius work made it clear Tiberius' co-regency with Augustus was 2 years before Augustus died. Thus, moving Augustus' death 3 years later also moves Tiberius' co-regency with Augustus 3 years later.
