Crucifixion was an ancient method of capital punishment.

Crux

Read Benjamin Jowett's article on the cross (crux) that was used to punish criminals in various ancient cultures. There were three types, a t-shape, the traditional cross with four right angles, and an X-shaped cross, in addition to impalement, and two ways to attach the condemned.
