What were crimes in ancient rome?

Answer 1

It was not so much the crime that got one crucified, it was the status of the person. Crucifixion was a means of execution for slaves and non-citizens and the army. It was humiliating and degrading and was meant to set an example for the consequences of wrongdoing as were most Roman methods of execution. However there was no particular list of crimes that would be penalized by crucifixion. If a citizen were convicted of say, theft, he would be fined and perhaps have to work to pay restitution. But if a slave were convicted of the same thing, he could be crucified. The army had the power to use crucifixion in extreme cases. Now even though a man had to be a Roman citizen to join the army, he in fact, gave up his rights of citizenship by swearing his military oath.

The crimes in ancient Rome were about the same as our present day crimes but without the computer crime. However the punishment and the penalties for the crimes were very different. For example, if someone is convicted of arson today, he/she goes to prison. If someone were convicted of arson in ancient Rome, he/she would be given an oiled and tared tunic to wear, strapped to a stake or a cross and then set on fire. Blasphemy was a crime in ancient Rome that is not a universal crime today. In Rome someone who was impious or insulted the gods was sentenced "to the beasts" which meant that they were tied to a stake and some hungry wild animal would eat them. At times they were not tied and the animals had to chase them down for their lunch.
