Carrying the cross (possibly just the crossbar) was standard practice in Roman crucificxions, to further humiliate the victim, so that he could be seen by the public as a criminal on his way to the place of execution. The Romans wanted to frighten the population, since there were many 'freedom' movements in Palestine at the time (sounds familiar!).

∙ 11y agoWe have to examine the history of the place Golgotha which mean Skull a Greek word. Calvry is a Latin word Means Skull! It is the same as Mount Sinia and Mount Horeb. The conclusion is not that Simon carried the cross, but Jesus was already in Calvry when Simon took it! I can tell you it wasn't far. The main focus is that he was in Calvry
