I liked #4 too, for it reminded me of a naked Christian girl in "The Sign of the Cross,"



bound to a herm, and you can be damn sure that Cecil B. DeMille knew damn well what those things looked like.

I believe her first name was Jacoba.

'Jacoba's Ladder' was the title of one of Samantha's crux series - a feminine interpretation of Jacob's ladder.

Some of the other modern commentators have noticed that the 'herms' could have been a form of gibbet for crucifixion/impalement. The ancient Greek images (on pottery?) would show something like a wooden or stone crossbar, going through the herm at the shoulder level. The commentators noted that the crossbars might have been for more than draping garlands of flowers. Arms over the crossbars (for crucifixion); impalement on the stone (or wood?) phallus. One of the commentators started to research what the Greeks used the for. Had some quotes describing them used (sometimes) for punishments.

Yeah, DeMille knew what he was showing/implying. Most of the pop culture illustrations in the 1920s & 30s would show a herm without an erect phallus. If a person was well-educated they would know what an actual herm would have had on the sculpture.

She was in great shape when she did this. It apparently didn't need to be airbrushed, either. She's just wonderful, and has an attitude to boot.

archeology cross

archeology cross

I’m not sure what you mean, Rias. Was the cross based on an archeological find?

For what it’s worth, it bears a close resemblance to the design Jedakk came up with 20 or so years ago.

You’re probably right. Jedakk, who has regrettably withdrawn from crux, is an engineer, and the design in the photo you posted simply makes sense when you take into account the awful physics of crucifixion,
