-as a sidebar, if anyone ever wondered how christianity got mixed up with rome, the common thread was antipathy towards the julio claudian dynasty and the events of the antonine plagues, lol.  Roman politicians, like modern politicians, found their useful idiots in the christian populace.

Two of the three sources from Josephus, from his 20-volume (around 50% of which, I believe, have been lost) on the history of the Jewish people, mention Jesus; likewise, Tacitus mentions him, also.  In addition, scholars have the Gospel of Mark, L (unique to Luke), M (Matthew), the Gospel of Thomas, and Q, a now-lost document that was common to Matthew & Luke.

All of these sources are independent, and there is no good reason to believe that they are referencing a mythical person.
