Francesco Carotta (born 1946 in Veneto, Italy) is an Italian writer. He developed a theory the historical Jesus was based on the life of Julius Caesar, that the Gospels were a re-writing of Roman historical sources, and that Christianity developed from the cult of the deified Caesar. Carotta's theory runs contrary to all established theories on the historical Jesus. Carotta postulates that the historical person behind the Biblical figure Jesus Christ was not Jesus of Nazareth, but the Roman statesman Gaius Julius Caesar, from whose cult Christianity developed over the course of several generations.
