Crucifixion as a penalty in ancient Rome was designed to be totally shameful and obscene. Due to religious propaganda artists commissioned by the church usually painted the subject matter wearing a loincloth. This rarely happened considering the obscene (by design) nature of such a death. Usually, slaves and criminals or simply prisoners of war were crucified totally naked. Ropes, nails or both were used. Four nails were normally used in roman times. A peg known as a sedile was often wedged up under the crutch to take some weight and allow the slave/criminal to die slowly. The sedile often was used to impale the condemned ( anus for the men and vagina for the women)and the legs could be nailed in a wide open position. A footrest (suppedanum) could be used. This was the true nature of Roman crucifixion and any slave of any sex or age including children,(see crucifixion of household slaves in the time of Nero, Pedanius secundus murder) could suffer the penalty. Flagellation and rape (for both woman and men) were common before the execution. Crucifixion lasted for as long as possible, depending the manner of crucifixion position of the crucified and type of support provided. The romans had a preference for nailing crucifixion victims.
