There are three historical ‘mentions’ of Jesus from the 2nd century: one Roman (Pliny the Younger) , one Syrian (Mara Bar Serapion), and one Samaritian (Thallus). You could also include the writings of Celsus, Galen, Lucian.

Too, Suetonius and Tacitus wrote about Nero, his proscriptions, and the Fire of Rome.
