Several ancient writers wrote of Jesus.

Several ancient writers wrote of Christians. Only Josephus wrote of Jesus and his words may have been added later. I'm not a believer but even I'm convinced Jesus lived, preached, gathered a devoted following, and was crucified.

While the historical evidence for that is pretty shaky, it is still not an extraordinary claim of any sort. It's not a hard thing to believe. It's a rather mundane claim, really.
