Why did the Romans target Jesus for execution?
There is no evidence that the Romans wanted to do this. Jesus was not a political but a religious leader. He stated to Pilate, 'my kingdom is not of this world.'

How did Romans kill christians?
The Romans were a very talented, innovative and intelligent society that was responsible for all kinds of inventions (from central heating to democracy, from excellent road building to fast food!). However, they were also unbelievably cruel and regarded death in many ways a sport or entertainment. There were many ways in which Christians were put to death. There are, of course, many records of crucifixion as the cruellest and most painful means of execution that was not only used for Christians but for any non-Roman who transgressed. Romans used it for Christians as a cruel parody of their Lord's own crucifixion thus introducing an element of mockery as well as a shameful and an agonising death. In addition to this, many Christians were sent to the arena either to fight highly trained gladiators, or to fight wild animals such as lions. Obviously, the unarmed (or very lightly armed) Christians came off the worst and were killed and often partially eaten by the lions who were starved beforehand to make them more likely to attack. Spectacles like this were regarded as entertainment by the bloodthirsty Roman public. There is also evidence that the Emperor Nero, as a special event for his birthday, ordered many hundreds of Christians to be covered in tar (pitch), crucified, and burned before they died, the pitch turning them into long-lasting human torches. They were then used to light up his palace gardens as outdoor lighting for his birthday party. Finally, if a Christian was also a Roman citizen (such as the case of St Paul), he or she was frequently given mercy in the form of a swift death by beheading by sword. However, these 'mercy killings' were few and far between as they did not create such a macabre and gory spectacle and thus were not deened 'entertaining' by a bloodthirsty society such as the Romans were.
