Well, if the victim wears the sign from his neck that means the executioners didn't care about him enough to secure the titulus in place. It's also easier to read it when it hangs over the subjects torso and probably this was a common method. But then if the sign is above the victim, or under his feet if the cross is tall, then it makes the crucifixion seem more important and also, the sign doesn't cover the victim's body, so that there more exposure of the naked body. So I guess both options make sense. Personally in my fantasies I don't think about the titulus at all, let people speculate about me while I'm suffering above their heads

To be fair what I really see on these pictures is a gorgeous Messiah on his cross, executed in such a beautiful place! A wonder of nature, must be a very important victim!
Thanks,
On similar note, which cross is better with sedile or footrest?
Crux-Emperor Baracus X
Rectidolor
Either...both are equally good.

Sign looks better above the head. And without foot rest looks better and is probably more accurate. Foot rests would only have been used in executions when Romans wanted an exceptionally prolonged torture. Without foot would result in much more intense pain though shorter time on the cross since death would come sooner.

Aesthetically I like the sign on top of the cross but in reality I suspect it was hung around the neck especially if it was a T cross

Presumably for reasons of decorum and modesty...

It is to humiliate him, so he is not allowed to show his magnificent penis.... No just joking, he do it as he think it is right and when we depict it with loincloth, such as in the catholic church it is very reasonable. I think it is great what he does. And also think, if you concentrate on the suffering the other aspects should not be too erotic...

Sometimes some humble covering is sexier than pure nudity.
I fully understand that if I was to be crucified by Roman's more than likely I would be hanging completely naked and I would have no say in how they treat me or what they do.
But for me personally I prefer the loincloth. I don't want people to just look at my genitals and only see me in a sexual way. I want people to see my face, to watch my agony and suffering, to wonder what pain I'm going throught. I guess that's just my perspective.
