The Romans captured war captives who were part of the war booty of victory and then sold them as slaves. This was a common practice among ancient peoples, not just the Romans. With regard to the conquered peoples, the Romans did not capture them. For the most part they left them alone. They tolerated their religions and customs and allowed them to follow their customary laws at the local level. They also allowed their elites to run things locally. This decreased the administrative burden of the Roman provincial governors and made Roman rule acceptable.

Why couldn't the Romans let the zealots win at Masada in 73AD?
The Romans never let anyone win. The zealots had been part of the Jewish revolt and Rome was out to punish them. The Romans had a determination that was part of their great military successes. If they wanted to capture/win, they did. They kept coming back at the adversary until they won, no matter how much time and effort it cost. That was why they were able to build the amazing system of siege works and take Masada.
