Detailed explanation-1: -At the place of execution he was stripped and then nailed to the cross, at least nailed by his hands, and above him at the top of the cross was placed the condemnatory inscription stating his crime of professing to be King of the Jews.
Detailed explanation-2: -Its punishment was reserved for slaves, foreigners, revolutionaries, and the vilest of criminals. Victims were nailed to a cross; however, Jesus’ cross was probably not the Latin cross, but rather a Tau cross (T). The vertical piece (the stipes) remains in the ground permanently.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, the more widely accepted medical hypotheses for Jesus’ death are cardiac rupture, asphyxiation, and shock. These medical hypotheses are based on accounts from the Gospels and our modern understanding of traumatic injuries.
