Pagans did crucify people, starting in Babylons. Spartacus and his followers were crucified by the pagan Romans, when they had a slave revolt. The cross is usually associated the Jesus Christ who was crucified for claiming to be king by the Romans. It was adopted as a symbol by Christians who claimed He was executed on the cross and died on a Friday, and that He rose from the dead on Easter Sunday two days later.
