Why did pagans not take any notice of Jesus?

[Yonadav]

No, what you are saying doesn't make sense. There have always been non-Jews who worshiped the Israelite deity. Non-Jews who worship the Israelite deity are called Noachides. Jews are a little bit interested in converting people to the Noachide faith. We don't go around trying to convince people to convert, but when someone is interested in Judaism, we will frequently suggest the Noachide faith to them. 

We have always done that. It's biblical. A non-Jew's offering is to be accepted is biblical. Israel as a nation of priests is biblical. The non-Jewish man grabbing the corner of a Jewish man's garment and asking to learn about G-d is biblical. Judaism for non-Jews is as old as Judaism.

The Romans practiced a certain amount of religious tolerance, but prior to Christianity, there was little to no missionary activity on the part of Jews to convert the mostly pagan Romans to Judaism.

And again, the core concept eludes you. If we wanted to proselytize, there would be absolutely no reason to make up a new religion, since Judaism for non-Jews is as old as Judaism.

I'm not a big believer in the historicity of Jesus. What I have said about it is that the account of his interaction with Jewish authorities doesn't make sense. It looks an awful lot like something that non-Jews might imagine would happen when some contentious Jew is brought before Jewish authorities, but isn't at all like what would actually happen. So from a Jewish perspective, the story looks pretty made up.

But arguments like yours aren't very compelling. It sounds like the reasoning of someone from the 20th century who thinks that someone like Jesus would have been in all of the newspapers and on TV.  The chances of anyone becoming widely known during their lifetime back then was incredibly small. Thousands of people could see you perform some miracles, and stories of your miracles wouldn't spread far beyond the people who had actually seen it.  Stories of your miracles would be competing with a bunch of other stories about other people that we have never heard of. A few might write about it, but the chances of those few writings surviving to our times would be small.

Jways was not the only miracle-worker of his day.

I bolded the part of my post that you basically repeated as if you were saying something different.
