Of course there were Roman texts referring to Jesus; whether they were of
the same time period that Jesus was supposed to have preached, I doubt.
The Roman authorities, however, never bothered to make any sort of
official investigation of the Christ cult, so they merely accepted the
Christian's claim that a man named Jesus had preached in Palestina as not
worth the effort to refute. A very unfortunate decision, as it turned out.
As for the particular text you mention, I believe I may have seen it
myself at some time. That it would refer to "Jesus, who was called
Christ" is certainly a clue that it wasn't an authentic record of an
actual person. If it were, it would probably have used a proper Aramaic
name rather than the later Greek interpretation.
