Are there any Roman writings about Jesus?

Question

Not to be confused with Paul's writings. I'm talking about writings from Roman diplomats or others.

Answer 1

Tacitus mentioned Jesus in his book "The Annals," however he does not go into much detail. Tacitus, who was the son-in-law of Roman Governor Julius Agricola, is generally considered one of the more trustworthy (although not necessarily accurate) Roman scholars.

It is almost certain Jesus existed, but beyond that there aren't many secular sources documenting his life.
