As these events occurred more than a millennia prior to the Geneva conventions which defined war crimes, I would strongly argue that these acts did not constitute war crimes at the time and that comment is simply misplaced.

War crimes were defined before the Geneva conventions, specifically the Hague Conventions 50 years earlier.

Fair enough. Still not terribly relevant in the context of the Roman Empire.
