Pilate neither did nor could say this seriously; for crucifixion was not a Jewish but a Roman mode of punishment. The cross was made of two beams , either crossing at the top , at right angles , like a T , or in the middle of their length like an X; with a piece on the centre of the trans#### Verse beam for the accusation , and another piece projecting from the middle , on which the person sat. The cross on which our Lord suffered was of the former kind , being thus represented on all old monuments , coins , and crosses. The body was usually fastened to the upright beam by nailing the feet to it , and on the trans#### Verse piece by nailing the hands; and the person was frequently permitted to hang in this situation till he perished through agony and lack of food. This horrible punishment was usually inflicted only on slaves for the worst of crimes

And the The apparent discrepancy between the accounts of this title given by the Evangelists , which has been urged as an objection against their inspiration and veracity , has been most satisfactorily accounted for by Dr. Townson; who supposes that , as it was written in Hebrew , Greek , and Latin , it might have slightly varied in each language; and that , as Luke and John wrote for the Gentiles , they would prefer the Greek inscription , that Matthew , addressing the Jews , would use the Hebrew , and that Mark , writing to the Romans , would naturally give the Latin.
