Any one consider possibly writings regarding Christ or His followers. Considering the eruption occurred in 79 AD, it's doubtful that there is any reference to Christ in the documents. Most of the early Christian writings occurred after that.

I wondered about the same thing. However by 79 AD there could have been much already written about Christ or the earliest roots of the Christian church since most of the Roman populace had heard of these by this time. at least on a colloquial basis..

That's one theory. It seems to me that it's pretty unlikely that they were written after the destruction of the Temple, given that there is no mention of the event. 72 AD?
