Think how much worse this would be for poor girl without the nice "seat" they gave her.
When I see an incredible image like this one I always wonder what the executioners are talking about. I imagine thid id a scene from a Roman military camp on the German border. Early 1st century of the empire. A German girl, thought to be a trusted servant, has been crucified. She tried to kill the commanding general of the legion. A decurion checks in on the progress of the execution detail.
"Damn! I could hear this bitch all across camp. What a noise!"
"Yes, sir. She's a howler, she is. Good set of lungs on this one."
"Fuck me! She's a looker alright. Beautiful, even. Damn shame to have to crucify her."
"Well, she did try to kill the Old Man."
"Yes, she did. Bad decision. Sucks to be her now."
The decurion takes a minute or two to look closely at the slender, crucified girl. He's stirred by what he sees.
"Perfect titties, I'd say. Not big and floppy as so many of these big, hairy, German cunts have."
"Yes, sir. But each to his own, sir. Lot of the men like 'em big and bigger. Like the girls on the plump side, too. But proper Roman tits on this one, for sure. Speaks pretty good Latin, too. Must be why she was selected to be a servant."
"Well, she's swearing in her heathen language now. Can't make it all out but sounds like she's fond of 'mother-fuckers-cock-suckers.' Understandable. How long has she been up?"
"Um . . . about three hours, now, sir."
"Yet still howling this loud, huh. Usually they quiet down pretty quick once they hang for a bit."
"Yes, sir. Usually. But she's healthy and young. These barbarian bitches do last a long time if properly nailed up. We used a cornu, too. The extra support under her ass will double her time on the cross. Day or two, maybe. Allows 'em to breathe better. Keeps 'em fresh longer.
"Still, the screaming. Seems like a long time . . . "
"Well, it is up her ass, sir. That's gotta hurt. The cornu relieves some stress on arms and legs but adds a shitload of pain."
"Well, that must be it. Ah, the marvelous mechanics of crucifixion. You and the lads did a good job. I'll see you get an extra beer ration with supper."
"Thank you, sir."
"One question. If the cornu only adds pain and increases her time on the cross, why can't she just pull off and hang down without it. Wouldn't she want to die more quickly?"
"Well, sir, it's like this. They do pull off every so often and hang with it pointing into their backsides, but then they'll soon push up and sit on the fucking thing again. It's really something to see 'em position their asses over the point and slide it in. Seems they're desperate for any support when just hanging from the nails. Don't make sense but they all do it. Guess you gotta be crucified to understand why. This one will maybe even slide it up her pussy at some point. Either hole for a bitch will do, it seems."
"Seems so. Well, the Old Man wants her to suffer long and hard. So keep her watered so she has as much time as possible to think about the bad choices she made in life."
"Yes, sir!"
