Anything that is obscure is going to take a long time to discover. I don't think history is special in that regard; problem is one of having it come to the attention of someone sufficiently expert enough to know for sure it's fake. If it seems technical and esoteric, most people will assume its true or be skeptical but not sure enough to challenge.
Come on, seriously? I'd agree in general, but "Gaius Flavius Antoninus, supposed assassin of Julius Caesar" is definitely not something technical and esoteric... It's one of the most famous events in (western) human history, Dante's Inferno is read in USA perhaps even more than in Italy etc.
