Latin - Crucify v. Torture

[Marius_Ursus]

That's really interesting. Do you have any idea why it was spoken amongst slaves, or is it that we know slaves said it, but we don't have a record of citizens saying it, so it could go either way?

As I was thinking about this yesterday evening, it occurred to me that Romans being the pragmatists that they were probably just called it, "nailed to a piece of wood".
