Historical accounts indicate that Jesus was crucified on a cross, which was a common method of execution during that time period. The shape of the cross as we commonly know it (two intersecting beams) is most likely accurate based on historical evidence and biblical descriptions.

Jesus died on a stake. The King James Version uses the term "cross". Cross is translated as (stau·rosʹ) in Greek. Stau-ros primarily means an upright pale or stake on which anything might be hung, or which might be used in impaling [Fencing in] a piece of ground. . . . Even amongst the Romans the crux (from which our cross is derived) appears to have been originally an upright pole. Many have taken the term cross in The Bible to mean a two beamed cross, but based on the translated version of the cross, that's not what it should mean. A Greek-English Lexicon, by Liddell and Scott, defines this as meaning: “Wood cut and ready for use, firewood, timber, etc. . . . piece of wood, log, beam, post . . . cudgel, club . . . stake on which criminals were impaled . . . of live wood, tree.”
