Tacitus:
Refers to Jesus as the founder of "Christians" and mentions his execution by Pontius Pilate during the reign of Emperor Tiberius
Josephus:
Passage about Jesus in his work "Antiquities of the Jews". While the authenticity of the passage is debated, many scholars believe the core account of Jesus's crucifixion under Pilate is genuine.
Mara Bar-Serapion:
This Syrian writer, in a letter to his son, refers to the execution of "the wise king" of the Jews, which some scholars interpret as a reference to Jesus.
The Jewish Talmud:
This collection of Jewish writings contains references to Jesus and his death by crucifixion
Lucian of Samosata:
Refers to Christians worshiping "the crucified sage", providing indirect evidence of Jesus's crucifixion.
It is not debated on whether or not the crucifixion of Jesus occurred because it very clearly did so rather, the biggest and most important reason for Christianity is whether or not Christ rose from the dead to which I would say, based on the evidence, he most certainly did.
