Crucifixion: Ancient Rome’s Worst Punishments | History 101

Описание: Crucifixion was one of the most brutal and infamous execution methods used in Ancient Rome, reserved for criminals, rebels, and slaves. Victims were nailed or tied to wooden crosses, left to endure days of agony before dying from exhaustion, exposure, or suffocation. This punishment was designed to be a slow, painful, and humiliating death, often carried out in public as a warning to others.

One of the most famous crucifixions in history was that of Jesus Christ, but thousands of others met the same fate—especially during Spartacus’ slave rebellion, when 6,000 rebels were crucified along the Appian Way. But why did the Romans favor this horrific execution? And what was the true extent of its cruelty?
