Not quite ass accurate as you usually are.
There were las in place that allowed local populations to eliminatge,
kill, execute, give teh last dance to, many. But crucifixtion, now that
was reserved by & for the Romans to impliment.
There were only three, after Julius Caesar, ways for a non-Roman citizen
to be given the grand performance. Usually alone to increae the torment
of the celebrnt.
Insurection, aka treason to Rome.
A slave in revolt against, or who has killed his master.
A pirate, specifically a sea pirate. It was a personal thing with Gaius
Julius Caesar.
For local crimes that the death penalty was in use for, they were free to
do so. That means that Bubba Jesus could have been stoned, Not herbaly,
to death & Rome would not have cared.
But that did not fit the needs of the unkown authors of the Greek
Testaments, & they needed tgh Jews to be guilty, not the Romans. After
all, they were trying to peddle their version of unreality to the Roman
population, for that was where the power & money was.

If he actually did that, but IIRC, his imaginary followers did that. he
himself did not. Still, there are passages that indicate he was an
unsurectionist, so quien sabe amigo?
walksalone who does admire one thing about the Greek testaments. They
are a perfect example of effective propaganda.
When times are hard, people turn to luck.
When times are desperate, people turn to the gods.
Author unkown to me.
