Crucifixion was the Roman form of capital punishment, for whatever crimes they thought warranted it, usually the worst. Roman citizens were apparently granted the privilege of being exempt from this most horrible death.

It was apparently also in use earlier as Alexander the great crucified two thousand Tyrians after the conquest of Tyre. So, in this case it was simply a case of the victor taking revenge on the vanquished.

In the case of Jesus' execution, Pilate himself acknowledged 'I find no crime in him', yet this unjust act was still done as he gave way to the pressure of the mob.

Do all persons crucified actually die?

Unfortunately, most of the people crucified did actually die. Josephus tells of some who were taken down and one actually lived. However this was rare, as most crucified men died not so much from the exposure on the stake, but due to the flogging that accompanied all crucifixions.Unfortunately, most of the people crucified did actually die.
