You have GOT to be kidding me! The Latin "cruci figere" I have figured out, meant simply, "to impale on a stake." In the Roman method, a racked suspension was added. And now we are to believe it means "to nail to a cross?" If that is so, the Romans never crucified! For their word for "cross" was not "crux" but "tropaeum," which was a symbol of victory and an object of WORSHIP until Constantine came along and changed everything.
