Not that I am aware of, and I have looked.
I was lead by one person here to believe that Roman court records exist dating back to that period that clearly show that Jesus existed. I have yet to be notified of where I may find these records or evidence that they exist.

no...evidence would have to take the form of multiple lines of evidence in the archaeological record that a person fitting jesus' historical description lived in the places and did the things it's said he did. and it's nearly impossible to trace the life of a single individual in the archaeological record: you can have houses from the right time period in the right area, you can have the right type of artifacts, but all that shows is that *some* people lived there more or less in the way described in the bible. not a specific individual. and that's supposing that this kind of archaeological data is even uncovered. it can be said that it is plausible that jesus existed, because of mention in historical documents, but until we can find his skeleton and his dental records, and do a positive ID match, we can't say for sure that jesus the individual existed. and i am pretty sure there are no dental records from 2000 years ago. ;)
but in the end, for those who worship him, it's not about proof, is it?

Most secular historians would agree Jesus really did live. All that is argued is if he really did miracles and if he was god. Many early nonchristian historians and those hostile to Christian did talk about Jesus. I would suggest doing more research and you'll be amazed at all the evidence outside the Bible for Jesus.

wow man. solid evidence in documentaries, the calender system (BC and AD), the writtings in history about Him from believers and non believers, and now someone is asking if its proven. dude, all the while people are arguing on whether Jesus is telling the truth, not whether He existed before. hmm dont u take history in elementary school?
all along non-believers argue whether Jesus was telling the truth, and muslims are arguing whether Jesus was just another prophet or the Son of God. No one who's studied history would argue about His existence, but whether He's telling the truth.

Yes there are documents that he did existences.
The question is do you believe he was Lord

Yes, scholars accept that He did exist .... He's mentioned in the writings of Josephus (a non-Biblical historical writing). Additionally, we have the testimony of His disciples; each of them are known to exist, in fact each of them died horrible deaths for their belief.
The thing that people balk against is whether He is the Son of God, not whether He actually existed.

Yeah, there's enough historical documents from enough different sources that nobody doubt that Jesus was a real person.

There is no evidence that a historian would regard as solid, indisputable proof but what texts there are suggest he probably existed.
