Article: Ancient References to Crucifixion

This is a lengthy read (or listen, if you prefer podcasts to articles), but includes a deep dive into the various references and forms of crucifixion in the ancient world. Also, as a bonus, you get to learn the word, “crurifragium”!

While the men in Josephus’ story were likely just
nailed to the beams of their crosses and left there,
Jesus wouldn’t have been so lucky. This means we
have to add the severity of the beatings to Jesus as well,
which would drastically reduce His chances of survival.
