No, Roman citizens were exempt from crucifixion. Crucifixion was only for the lowest members of society such as slaves and rebellious enemies. If a Roman citizen had to be executed he was either beheaded or strangled.

If you are referring to Roman solders, no emperor did this. Roman citizens could not be crucified by law. Crucifixion was reserved for slaves and foreigners. Crassus had 6,oo slaves crucified along the Appian Way from Rome to Capua (near Naples) when he finally defeated the slave rebellion historians have called the Third Servile War in 71 BC. However, at that time Rome was still a Republic and did not have an emperor. Titus had jews crucified when the captured and destroyed jerusalem. However, at that time he was not an emperor yet.
