I think you had to be important to get crucified. He probably would have been dispatched as arrow fodder and turned into meat stew on the front lines of an unimportant battle.

No, crucifixion was an awful death reserved for common criminals. The fact that Jesus was put to death in this way actually attests to him having been a real person because nobody would have invented a god to be worshiped who was crucified. It is too ignoble a death. And a very important part of Christian symbolism for that reason.
