On the history channel, (not the most pro-Christian channel
), they said that until about 70bc, the Romans did use a “torture stick” to crucify people. But about 100years before Christ was crucified, the change was made to the cross. I believe the reason was it prolonged the person’s death and allowed maximum amount of pain. The cross supplanted the torture stick because it was more “torturous”!
