Detailed explanation-1: -Crucifixion was generally performed within Ancient Rome as a means to dissuade others from perpetrating similar crimes, with victims sometimes left on display after death as a warning.

Detailed explanation-2: -Crucifixion was most frequently used to punish political or religious agitators, pirates, slaves, or those who had no civil rights.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Romans executed most criminals by tying them to the wooden crosses, so it is highly unusual that Jesus was nailed. Some have even questioned whether it actually happened.

Detailed explanation-4: -Probably originating with the Assyrians and Babylonians, it was used systematically by the Persians in the 6th century BC. Alexander the Great brought it from there to the eastern Mediterranean countries in the 4th century BC, and the Phoenicians introduced it to Rome in the 3rd century BC.
