Unless, of course, Jesus was crucified on Roman order. The prefect held that power.
Whos order and why?

Any historical writings that exist that I have never heard of about this?

Obviously I am speaking of Pilate (prefect of Judea from 26 to 36 CE).

As to explaining why, see Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews by Paula Fredriksen.

For information on the Roman office of prefect, see A. H. M. Jones, "Procurators and Prefects in the Early Principate" in Studies in Roman Government and Law (1960).

best,
