It would all depend on why the person was being punished. The Romans liked to make the punishment fit the crime as much as possible. If a person were being punished for arson, he/she would be burnt alive, for murder or repeated theft, one could be crucified, if a foreigner or slave, if a citizen it was the arena. Public executions added as a warning to anyone else contemplating a crime. Strangulation was a very common death sentence. If one were found guilty of something like treason, he would be exiled and his property confiscated. Petty theft was punished by a fine and restitution. A slave could be punished by a whipping, however this was only in extreme cases, as a master who abused his slaves lost social status in the eyes of his peers. A slave was generally punished by being denied food for a day or two, or being denied other privileges.

Why did Hitler kill those who helped the Jews?

well, if you were fighting a war against someone, and someone else helped those you were fighting against, what would you do? in other words, he kind of saw it as an act of rebellion against his directions... and usually, when there is some sort of rebellion, there's punishment. if the question is asking why he chose that punishment... theoretically, if someone wants complete control, they wouldn't want any form of conspiracy against them if they plan to succeed. so the easiest way to get rid of threats to someone's power is to kill.
