The Roman punishment for letting a prisoner escape was death.

Who told you that and why did you believe them? NOTE that LETTING means personally permitting it NOT happens on your watch.

Fustuarium or bastinado — Following a court-martial sentence for desertion or dereliction of duty, the soldier would be stoned, or beaten to death by cudgels, in front of the assembled troops, by his fellow soldiers, whose lives had been put in danger.

The Roman army also believed in punishment. If a guard was found asleep at or left his post then he would be stoned or beaten for putting fellow soldiers at risk. The outcome of that was usually death. Even entire legions can be punished.

This also comes up in Acts 16:

27 The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”

Were they passing around a photo of him to show "exactly looked like?" I find it sort of incredible people can't get back to the real world barely a century ago try to apply it to thousands of years ago.

Thanks for pointing that out. You demonstrate that it is even easier for political officials to ignore Jesus' resurrection than I made a case for.

No it did not. Why do you make it up? I can cite Mark, Luke and John to show you are making it up.

Mutually conflicting stories can have at most one truth teller and the rest are liars.

What is "it"? Where do the four Gospels conflict?
