that said that the Romans kept detailed records of how many animals were slaughtered in their games but didn't bother keeping track of the number of humans so dispatched.

I doubt that the Romans kept records of the non-Romans they had executed. To do so would be to elevate such people to a status that the Romans would never give them. Roman executions - especially crucifixion - were public displays to leave no doubt in the minds of conquered populations that their lives meant nothing to the Romans, and that they'd better stay in line or they'd meet a similar fate. You don't degrade a person's existence by crucifying them and then list their name on a scoreboard of any kind.
