Crucifixion: The Process and the Monstrous Logic Behind It

Описание: One of the Romans' most lasting legacies is the cross: a tool of unimaginable suffering that has become, for billions of people, a symbol of hope and faith.

In this video, we take a closer look at how and why the Romans used crucifixion, plus a detailed examination of exactly what the process of a typical crucifixion entailed.

We also attempt to answer the question as to whether crucifixion was a regrettable side-effect of Rome's civilizing mission, or an indication of a deeper, fundamental Roman brutality.

Be advised that, given the nature of the subject matter, this video may not be suited for younger viewers or those of a more sensitive constitution. The video contains artistic depictions of crucifixion as well as medical illustrations of the harm done to a human body during the process.


NOTE: In this video, we erroneously state that, after Caesar was kidnapped by a gang of pirates, he swore that he would have them all crucified, yet eventually settled to merely have their throats slit instead, sparing them from crucifixion. According to Suetonius, Caesar did have their throats slit, but then crucified their bodies as warning. Roman mercy
