There's only a few dozen executions in that lot - if there really is a meticulous documentation, you'd expect a few more don't you think? - and I am not that sure that e.g. John the Baptist's execution really is documented in any "meticulous records" either, so that's clearly not an example from those "meticulous records" about which you speak.
The executions mentioned here were of some note. If a Jewish rabbi with even a small following who caused some disturbance in downtown Jerusalem got himself executed, like most stories of interest it would have gotten a mention. That John The Baptist not getting a mention only increases the likelihood that the episode was added to the Jesus myth as to collaborate it!
Yes, of course. So where'd this guy find those particular executions listed? I bet you it wasn't official Roman records. The source you refer to does list John the Baptist! I think you misconstrued my point.
Ultimately, my point is this: I have never seen any credible evidence of these meticulous records.
There was a contemporary of Jesus who wrote extensively about that particular period of Jewish history...
Philo was a philosopher not a historian, and his main concern was with interpreting the Hebrew Bible not reporting current events in Jerusalem.
...who was right there when the events are supposed to have happened, who also is completely silent on matter of a HJ.
Which events? The article you linked to is a refutation of Jesus as portrayed in the gospels and miraculous events, not a refutation of a Jesus that these myths were heaped upon.
I speak of Philo of Alexandria. A roving reporter of that time that missed the whole shebang!

Philo was not a roving reporter. Where did you come up with that shit?
