An article found on bible archaeology website from July 7 2011 shows a picture of a prisoner dying on a cross the proper way. A man's hands are tied by rope and two nails piercing each leg. A Dr. Edwards wrote an article 1986, for which it can be found online. Describes an upper bar and a horizontal bar that weighs a total of 300 pounds and this method was meant to send a message to not mess with Rome or her right to rule over them. Crucifixion in the ancient world was no joke. A first Century believer understood that taking up the cross and follow Him meant not only to die to oneself but your are pilgrim in strange world full of selfish people.
