From an "Original Sin" perspective: When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, they doomed the entire race to death. Under the Law (as seen in Genesis--Cain and Able), a sacrifice was necessary to propitiate the sin of the person. While the sacrifice of a blemish free animal, typically a lamb or young goat, was sufficient on a temporary basis, a permanent sacrifice was necessary. There was no worthy permanent sacrifice but that of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and a part of the Trinity. He was born to die for the sins of all mankind.

How He died was commonplace for criminals of the first century people under the thumb of the Roman Empire. Criminals were beaten and then hung on a cross to die a slow and horrendously painful death. After death the bodies were left for days afterward for the birds to eat away the flesh. This sent a very powerful message to people that this is what happens when you cross the Empire.

What did the soldiers do to Jesus before they crucified him?

The 4 accounts of the Gospel give us a record of several things that were done by the soldiers to Jesus before He died. Jesus was whipped (Matthew 27:26), stripped of his clothes (Matthew 27:27) and dressed in a scarlet cloak (Matthew 27:28). Thorns were twisted into a crown and placed on his head and a reed in his hand (Matthew 27:29). After this was done, the soldiers spat on Jesus, hit Him on the head and laughed at Him (Matthew 27:30). Jesus was then made to carry the cross (Luke 23:26) to Golgotha. Upon arrival the soldiers offered Jesus wine mixed with a drug (Matthew 27:34) and crucified Him (Matthew 27:35) before gambling to see who would get the clothes (Matthew 27:35); they laughed at Him hanging on the cross and offered vinegar to Jesus (Luke 23:35,36).
