The Bible does not mention crucifixion as a form of execution or punishment to death until the time of Jesus. The Koran puts this type of death in the time of the Exodus which is apparently an error. When it actually began is hard to determine.
Relying upon Greek and Roman literature, we find the first mention of an execution occurring during the reign of King Darius of Persia, circa 519 BC. Here the Greek writer Herodotus says 3,000 were crucified. There are accounts of Alexander the great execution 2,000 in Tyre by crucifixion in circa 330 BC. The Romans appear to have picked up this form of extreme punishment from the Greeks soon after defeating the Carthaginians. These same Romans were quick to point out that others like the Norse and Celts also used this extreme form of execution.
This form of punishment is now rare but did occur in recent history, particularly in Europe.
