십자가에 달릴 때 손목 발목에 박은 대못
m. Samuelsson, for all his reading, appears to have little comprehension.
he carried a device for a particular purpose and then treated with that device FOR that purpose. So, the Gospels were written in Greek and Aramaic and they used a greek or aramaic word for the device. 'crucifix' is a latin word.
romans used crosses. this is well documented. they used them a lot. a few years after jesus' death, judea revolted. rome suppressed the revolt and killed tens of thousands in precisely the manner described. The Roman Jew Josephus, writing in Latin, said "there was not room enough for the crosses, nor crosses enough for the victims." He records that several were often nailed to one cross. And, yep, they used nails.

[crucifiction] was widespread across the Roman Empire which included Europe, North Africa and Western Asia. It originated several centuries before the Common Era and continued into the fourth century AD when the practice was discontinued by Constantine, the emperor of Rome. While its origins are obscured in antiquity, it is clear that this form of
capital punishment lasted for around 800 years and tens if not hundreds of thousands of individuals were subject to this cruel and humiliating death.

Hobo,
I am familiar withe the school that insists that Jesus was hung on a pole or a 'tree' and though it would seem an insignificant matter, the difference actually bears considerable weight.
Jews (Hebrews) DID employ a similar methodology, employing a pole or tree for execution. had Jesus been executed according to jewish law, he might have been killed in such a manner. We can say this because of the relatively short time that he hung - less than a day and was taken down at sunset. This is important as it seems to reflect jewish Law (see Deuteronomy 21:22-23: ). though probably not, as the practice does appear to have lasted into that time.
But the gospels are pretty clear. Jesus was taken to Golgotha by Roman soldiers, was executed by roman soldiers. and romans used a crucifix.
