he is left out on the cross. Yes, he is left out on the cross, but the cause of death is generally suffocation. In the common from of crucifixion that the Romans used, with the arms outstretched, the victim's arms would weaken causing the body to sag, making it difficult and then impossible to breathe. The Romans in their "mercy" speeded up the process by breaking the victim's legs so he could not boost himself upwards to get a gulp of air.
Sometimes. But if he were a Roman citizen or freedman he could not be crucified. Crucifixion was for slaves who committed heinous crimes. If the thief were a slave, yes crucifixion was in order, but most thieves, even non-citizens, were punished with flogging or exile, depending on his social status.

You had to enlist. If you were a Roman citizen between the ages of 18 and 25 and in good mental and physical health, you were in. If you were not a citizen and wanted to join, you would be in the auxilia, with the benefit or Roman citizenship when your service was over.
Crucifixion is a particularly painful and gruesome method of execution -- the pain continues over an extended time. It was intended to terrorize and dissuade those who saw it from engaging in the same behavior.

The Romans had various ways of executing people which depended upon their status. For example, a non-citizen could be crucified, while a citizen was either beheaded or strangled. A military man might be beheaded or even crucified as the man joining the army gave up his citizen's rights upon enlistment. A wealthy aristocrat would be exiled and his property confiscated. He could also be offered the choice of suicide which often protected his property for his heirs. These are just examples, as the Romans had other forms of execution depending upon status.The Romans had various ways of executing people which depended upon their status.

In addition the above, by law no Roman citizens could be crucified. Crucifixion was considered a humiliation. It was meted out mainly to non-Roman criminals, and non-Romans who rebelled or were accused of sedition.
