No. Herrod is mentioned in external works as is Pilate. No Roman records mention Jesus.
I don't think you'd find much scholarly support for the notion that there was no historical person named Jesus. No serious biblical scholar doubts that anymore. You can argue if he was the son of God, or if he performed miracles, or if the synoptic gospels are historical accounts or not. But to argue that there was never a historical Jesus, is a mistake, in my opinion.

No serious biblical scholar doubts that anymore.Accept that your belief in Jesus relies on faith and not fact. Faith is cool but it isn't a way to establish truth.
