ps - Although the potential of Julius C being of Hasmonean heritage is somewhat revelationary (ok, very much so), what intrigues me the most is the linkage of Peter and Gamaliel, which indicates the split between Judaism and Christianity likely happened after the fall of Jerusalem ... which is why I'd love to find more about the historical Hillel and Shammai, the two main lines of rabbinical Judaic thought. Keep digging kids, there are coins buried out there.
