A cross made of wood. The Roman method of execution called crucifixion was reserved for common criminals who were not Roman citizens. Execution of Roman citizens was by a swift beheading by sword. Crucifixion was usually done on a cross that was made of a long upright with a bar set across it that slid over the upright post producing the '+' shaped cross we see in churches. However, sometimes a 'T' shaped cross was used instead. The victim was usually nailed to the cross through the wrists and ankles after being whipped until nearly dead. Death came bt exposure, loss of blood, shock and asphyxiation. Some Christian sects like the Jehovah's Witnesses claim that jesus was crucified on a stake and not a cross. However, there is absolutely no evidence of this, and all evidence, historically, theologically, culturally and archaeologically points to death on a cross.
