Well the romans favoured sticking people on crosses although they weren't just nailed but more likely tied. Not enough flesh on hands to hold a body up by nails alone. Eventually they suffocated from the weight of their bodies just hanging there.
Nice eh! I guess if they were short of wood at the time it could have been a stake but traditionally it was a cross.

It was a cross. Only Jehovah's Witnesses translate "cross" as "torture stake," despite the original Greek.
Check out the first link below for some links that examine the medical aspects of crucifixion. Pretty interesting stuff.

Nailed on a cross. That was staked into the ground to keep it upright.

Well the Bible states that He was nailed to the cross. Also the Bilbe states that He had to carry the cross through the village to the hill where He and the others were put up.

The Roman executed many people on the cross, trouble makers run away slaves. Putting nails in the hands and feet was uncommon but not unheard of. Since Jesus was executed under the order of the Romans, it makes sense that he was killed on the cross.

He was nailed, through the wrists (considered part of the hand) to a cross.
