James Romans tolerated Kings and they used them and even a good part of the roman policy was based on client kings exactly in the period we are talking about, I think that it has nothing to do with Jesus pretending to be a king. Is very hard to see the facts behind the Trial really.

As a literary license you could say yeah they were legionaries there, but strictly scientifically speaking you have no proof they were, I don't think that the events we are speaking were so important for the Rome so doubtfully that there were any legionaries around. I would incline to BELIVE they were not but I can't PROVE it either.

The Romans were fine with kings. The problem was that Jesus claimed to be (supposedly) King of the Jews. The Romans already had a king of the Jews - their puppet, Antipas. Anyone else claiming the title was a rebel, and the punishment for rebellion was crucifixion.
