It seems a little improbable that the Roman soldiers mocked Jesus so readily, as it would have become known quite quickly that their commanding officer, Pontius Pilate, had been an unwilling participant in ordering his crucifixion. Nevertheless, the gospels say that they mocked him.
They say that Jesus was given a crown of thorns to represent a claim that he was king of the Jews, and an incription on the cross called him "King of the Jews." They called upon him to come down off the cross if he was really the Son of God.
After the death of Jesus, Mark 15:39 has the centurion mockingly say, "Truly this man was the Son of God." In copying Mark's Gospel, the authors of Matthew and Luke thought better to change this remark from one of mocking irony to one of belief and acceptance, while John omits it altogether.

The soldiers treated Jesus as they did because they were following orders and carrying out their duty to crucify him as a criminal. They may have also been influenced by the prevailing culture of hostility towards Jesus and his teachings.

∙ 12y agoAt the time of Jesus arrest on the Mount of Olives, the soldiers, helped by Judas, found and escorted Jesus to the home of the Jewish High Priest.
At the time of His trial in Jerusalem, the soldiers put a purple robe on Him, placed a crown of thorns upon His head, struck Him, spit upon Him, flogged, ridiculed Him, mocked Him, gambled for His seamless garment. They made Jesus carry a wooden cross upon which He was to be crucified, then nailed Him to that cross, lifted up the cross and hung Him between earth and sky between two common criminals, then they watched Him give up the spirit and die.
They then pierced His side with a spear until water and blood flowed out onto the ground.
