Yes I remember you providing something that indicated he was executed, but it didn't mention him rising from the dead or doing anything outside the laws of nature.

I said that Tacitus, the Roman historian, does not use the term resurect, but some scholars believe his claim that there arose a "mysterious superstition" refers to this event. However, Josephus says that he was the "so-called" Christ, assigning him a deification title. He also says that he was performing miraculous "feats". The Babylonian Talmud says that he resurrected. The roman historian Pliny, said that the Christians were worshipping him as a god.
So yes, people including Romans related stories of others saying that Jesus was doing things "outside the laws of nature". The Christian explosion in Rome didn't arise just because some guy told a lot of neat parables.
