Crucifixion was initiated by the Persians which later started to spread across the world including regions like Assyrians, Carthaginians, Germans, Scythians, Britons and Celts. This form of the death was specially assigned to traitors, slaves, prisoners and criminals. It later became common in the reign of the Great Alexander.

Christian theology states that the death of the Christ was a perfect sacrifice to cleanse which was carried out to cleanse all sins of human beings. Thus the Holy cross is considered to be the symbol of Christianity. You will come to know more about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in the Bible story.
