33 C.E. ("C.E." means "Common Era", slightly more accurate terminology than "A.D.")
Incidentally, Jesus almost certainly died while impaled on a simple stake, rather than a cross of two intersecting beams. Of course the Romans had the ability to create such devices, and probably did. But ask yourself: why they would have bothered when a simple stake would have worked just as well or better?
It is also enlightening to examine other relevant Scriptures.
You may be interested to see how your own copy of the bible translates Acts 5:30, Galatians 3:13, Deuteronomy 21:22, 23, and Acts 10:39. The King James, Revised Standard, Dyaglott, and Jerusalem Bible translate the instrument of Christ's death simply as "stake" or "tree" because the original wording simply does not support the idea that this was more than a piece of upright wood.
It is also eye-opening to examine how the first-century Christians felt about idols of any kind, much less one that glorified an instrument of death.

No one knows.
My encyclopedia says 29 CE. Jehovah's Witnesses (of which I used to be one) say that it's 33 CE, but their chronology is not dependable.
In their book The Time is at Hand published in 1889, they say that Ushers chronology is wrong, because Usher is misled by the evident error of 1 Kings 6:1 which should read five hundred instead of four hundred. Then they changed their mind and decided the scripture was right after all.
They like to give definite and fixed answers for everything, but then they change their minds like people change socks.

33 a.d. (anno Domini) which means "in the year of the lord" and Jesus was crucified when he was 33.
