For theological reasons, Jesus had to be crucified between two common thieves to show the actions of the Jews by disregarding Jesus' teachings deserved the anti-Jewish sentiment that lasted nearly 2000 years. Only those who committed high treason were crucified: thieves were not crucified. One of the blatantly historical mistakes in the gospels.

How many people were crucified alongside Jesus?

According the the Christian gospels, two other men were crucified with Jesus. These two men are variously described as thieves, criminals or rebels. Some fundamentalist Christians interpret the Gospels so that there were four men crucified with Jesus because of the different ways in which the men are described and because they take the Bible absolutely literally. So because one gospel says two "criminals" were crucified with Jesus and another says two "thieves" were crucified with Jesus there must have been four. Most people dismiss this and interpret the gospels more sensibly as there being only two other men crucified with Jesus.
