Those “onesies” in #10 were probably undergarments. I have seen medieval paintings of laborers wearing these types of breeches while working the fields in the hot sun. These breeches varied in length and were closed with a drawstring or belt at the waist. In this particular painting I wonder if beating Jesus in your underwear was an additional insult.

[Hebrews 11:6]

beating Jesus in your underwear

A whole new branch of theology. Haven't we all done that?

I thought along those lines (that it meant something anyway). 'low/laborer class beats lowest class'...sounds about right.
