No. You didn't get it right. Reread it and see. I still see the same thing. An empty tomb does not prove resurrection. The accounts of the apostles seeing him after death does. Those are religious sources, not secular sources. The emperor believing them or not is not the same as witnessing them.

Those are religious sources, not secular sources. No, both are "secular. You seem to imply that "relgious" means legendary or mythical.

Eusebius of Caesarea (Church Historian), "The miraculous resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ having become famous and it being an ancient custom that the governors of provinces should send to the Emperor an account of anything new that turned up in their administration, so that he might be fully informed of everything that came to pass, Pontius Pilate acquainted Tiberius with the resurrection of the Saviour, which was known to everyone in Palestine.
