Anything. Being a patriarchal society, Roman men had absolute power over their children, wives, and sometimes even extended family in certain cases. They could kill them if they liked, though that was looked down on. So were many harsher punishments; you must remember that these children (the boys, at least,) would grow into the next tier of Roman aristocracy in many cases. They weren't mistreated too often or severely.

Striking a child would be a simple and common punishment. We don't have exact records on Roman society, I'm getting this last punishment from a passage regarding a group of rowdy children refusing to do their schoolwork. Most of our ideas on Rome are from reliefs and writings, and people don't often carve pictures of them beating up kids. Unless you're Caligula, in which case graffiti might depict something similar. But I digress.

I hope I answered your question.

What were crimes in ancient rome?

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.
