I wouldn’t assume that crucifixion was always done exactly the same way.

True...one of the apostles (I think Peter?) was crucified upside-down, wasn't he?

Yes, at his own request, because he did not want to be considered equal to Jesus. The Romans were agreeable to his request, so long as he was executed.
