[M. CVRIVS ALEXANDER]

By "not historical" here I mean it was written for theological reasons, not historical ones, so one should not take everything it says as true, historically speaking. 

Any ancient historical source was written for reasons other than factual reporting of events, "so one should not take everything it says as true, historically speaking." Certainly, Acts is first and foremost a work of religion, but it does explicitly concern itself with history. In terms of its references to the Roman military, Acts does not deviate from and complements to what is known from other historical sources of the period.
