That's correct. It was reserved for enemies of the State. A Roman citizen had the right to appeal directly to Ceasar to settle any grievances or charges. He could not be whipped either.

Nope, i've got confidence in removing the liberty of the main severe criminals on a lasting foundation. My situation with dying or torture as a punishment is that there are far too many miscarriages of justice international to justify it. And for the argument "we would must be doubly particular that they've been accountable" is mistaken and makes a mockery of something of the equipment. (((((((((MM)))))))))) ...

Yes it was. The Roman once crucified 6000 people along the road to show that any rebellion would be crushed.
What,are you trying lamely to prove the Bible wrong? No one said it wasn't common. It was cruel and inhumane and our savior suffered on that cross.

Actually a stake, not a cross in places where wood was at a minimum.

He's not trying to prove the Bible wrong, he's trying to get help with his homework.
