Yeah, they definitely throw the word "crucifixion" around too much in the series. I think they probably assume "being beaten to death with sticks" doesn't sound as threatening or would not be as easily understood by the viewers.
Just a fair warning: If you guys cringe at small historical liberties taken in the first few episodes, wait for the Cleo episode...
