        Pontius Pilate was from the Samnite clan of the Pontii.

        Crucifixion was the method of execution used by the Romans.   
   Jewish leaders would have lobbied for stoning. The Bible only states   
   the Jews wanted Jesus killed. Since crucifixion was the method used by   
   the Romans at the time for certain offences, that was the method used.   
   The Jews had little say in the method of punishment used.
