Two words:
No Evidence. There is as little evidence that the Roman invented Jesus as there is evidence for Jesus having actually existed rather than having been invented.
I don't deny there can be a third possibility, which is Romans may not have invented the myth of Jesus, but may have used subterfuge to consciously influence the development of the pre-existing myth in order to use the cult for Roman ends during some stage of early Christain era.
