We know a lot about the Romans because they wrote stuff down, and other people wrote about them. There is no record of the Roman Empire ever having conducted a census that required people to return to the city of their birth to be counted. What would be the point? It's much more likely the gospel writers were trying to shoehorn the Jesus story into ancient prophesy to lend it credence. In spite of this, countless Christians take it as unquestionable truth. It's funny how people who claim to be in possession of absolute truth are so easily triggered by anyone who attempts to call that claim into question.
