No. Nor would we expect it to be, since Jesus of Nazareth was not significant to the Romans. Jesus' followers the Christians, caused a later historian, Tacitus (c. AD 55-120) to write about Jesus. The Romans crucified literally thousands of people. There was to them no particular importance about this one. Pilate himself, since it was really contrary to Roman justice, probably would have also rather it remained unreported.

What was a historical source for the existence of Jesus of Nazareth?

Apart from the gospels, three of which have been shown to be reliant, directly or indirectly, on Mark's Gospel for their information on the life of Jesus, there is no historical source for the existence of Jesus of Nazareth. If the author of Mark's Gospel had been misinformed or was in error about the existence of Jesus, then we have nothing.No contemporary Roman records mention Jesus. No scholar of the time mentions the strange period of darkness that occurred during his crucifixion, nor the corpses who rose up from their graves and walked into Jerusalem. Even Philo of Alexandria, a contemporary Jewish scholar and historian who attempted to record everything of interest to the Jews, never mentioned Jesus.The Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus did mention Jesus, but he wrote at the end of the century and was not a contemporary of Jesus. He was relying on information provided to him by others, who themselves could not have been eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus. This is not historical evidence.No historical source exists to prove that Jesus was a historical person. He may have been ... but then again, perhaps not.
