I get it man

You don’t

you have “faith”

I don’t.

that’s not evidence

The evidence we’re talking about is the textual references in Pliny etc.

Say we have a textual reference like this: “In the year of the consulship of Caius Vipstanus and Caius Fonteius, Nero deferred no more a long meditated crime. Length of power had matured his daring, and his passion for Poppaea daily grew more ardent.”… would you say that a person called Caius Vipstanus existed from that evidence?
