No... the Romans backed and funded fledgling Christianity 300 years after the death (martyrdom) of Jesus because it was politically beneficial for them to do so, for various reasons. That doesn't mean Jesus was a "plant". Just that they manipulated the situation into something that they thought would be advantageous to their empire. Why else would they fund and promote Christianity?
