There is no evidence that the Romans feared Jesus. Mark's Gospel says that Pontius Pilate tried to release Jesus on the pretext that he should release a prisoner during the Passover, but thep people demanded that he crucify him, while Pilate asked, "Why? What evil has he done?" (15:6-14).

They weren't. Pilate condemned Jesus contrary to Roman law because of the pressure put on him by the Jews.

Why did Roman officials and many Jewish leaders regard Jesus as a troublemaker?

The only Roman official with whom Jesus ever interacted was Pontius Pilate. All the other Romans with whom He interacted were soldiers and functionaries [tax collectors]. None of the soldiers who interacted with Him ever displayed any fear of Jesus. Many believed in Him, trusted Him, and asked Him to intervene for them. That leaves Pilate. Pilate wasn't afraid of Jesus either. If he had been, he wouldn't have sentenced Him to death. No, the people whom Pilate feared were the people in the crowd in the judgment court where Jesus was tried. It was their threat to begin an insurrection that he feared. That's why he caved in to their pressure. So - Who's next on the officials list?
