Surely thousands were executed during witch trials, religious persecussions etc, but they would definitely not name them one by one.
To the Romans, Jesus was just another "lunatic", who got executed by proclaiming himself as the messiah. There would be no need for the romans to write a thesis about "just one prisoner".
I believe you are asking for roman papers which would mimic the bible verse for verse, well it ain't going to happen. The romans did not believe in Jesus. You won't find papers that will say "There once was a man from Nantucket.. oops sorry I mean.. There once was a man named Jesus, who was the Son of God and was crucified."
You will find various accounts though, about thing that HAD taken place, and that are also talked about in the bible. References to times, places, kings etc. Accurate descriptions of what was going on that were also described in the bible. Coincidence? I don't think so.
