We all know Jesus was the only person who was ever crucified, so these have to be His.

Come on man are you disputing the Sun?? :)

You know what? Only meeting Jesus face to face here and now would make some believe.

And not even all of them.

Instead of reading all this stuff, reading the Bible would make one a stronger believer. And/or praying.

No, sadly enough the Romans crucified many, many people, both by tying them to a cross breaking their legs so that the entire weight of their lower body pulled down on their diaphragms and letting them die relatively quickly of positional asphyxia, or by nailing them up and letting time, thirst and weather do them in.

They have found at least one case where the nail was left in the ankle bone, the feet were nailed to the sides of the upright (despite the medieval artistic rendering of them being nailed to the front through the top if the foot), with the nail passing near a nerve, if the person pressed down on the nails to relieve the pressure on his diaphragm, the nerves would create excruciating* pain. They would live and suffer a lot longer, which was the whole point to make a sufficiently gruesome object lesson...

* look up the etymology.

They were buried with the 900’ cross in the Vatican Catacombs... (joke- with all the remnants found and kept by the church, the cross had to be 900’).
