Who says they didn't?
Do we have All Roman records from that time?

Roman officials don't seem to anything about it or your fucking dead jew coming back to life. Both, I must tell you, would have been BIG NEWS and would have certainly inspired someone to look into it.
Again, who's to say this exact thing did not happen? there is a tremoundous gap in the written records of the 1st century roman goverment. For even in a soceity where the literacy rate was less than 3% the goverment of that soceity still generated a ton of paper work. To which we have little of. So to say Christ was not recorded by the roman goverment is wishful thinking at best. Unless you have PROOF of your assertion.
