Stoning is a particularly brutal form of execution. Besides the the cruel slowness at which it can be done, the condemned woman suffers the embarrassment and humiliation of being brought naked before the crowd and being placed in the hole. Dirt is shoveled around her legs and lower body preventing her escape. Lewd remarks are shouted at her as she is prepared to be stoned. The only end to this horror is the volley of rocks that will put her to death...

I’ve wondered about the 6,000 supposedly crucified after the Spartacus rebellion. Would this have meant gathering 12,000 pieces of timber and 24,000 nails very quickly?. I’d doubt it.Probably a lot of use was made of the side of buildings, trees, ropes, batch crucifixions together on the one upright. The end crucifixion in the Spartacus series from a few years back was amusing when each of the condemned was nailed to the most beautifully crafted and sanded cross.
A shipload of Sueones had landed at Ostia and set up a big store selling flatpacks - they'd had a tip-off, a big slave rebellion would end with a big demand for crosses!

if I was a Roman I’d probably crucify @Eulalia and @Barbaria1 together, they would enjoy theyre last moments between fellow slave girls
Now, that's entrepreneurship in action.

Writing of the 14th century, Barbara Tuchman notes that medieval chroniclers didn't use numbers to convey data, but as a literary device to amaze or appall the reader. I suspect that was also the case in the ancient world. That 6,000 figure might be about as reliable as Samson's slaying of 1,000 Philistines with the jawbone of an ass.

The source of the 6,000 number is Appian of Alexandria, who wrote a history of the Republic sometime in the Second Century CE (Appian died around 165CE), about two hundred years after the event.
This is a problem historians often face. There is only one surviving source, written long after the fact. Appian may have been referencing an earlier history, but he does not cite a source (not uncommon for the time) and we have no others to go on (Plutarchus also covers the Third Servile War in his Lives, but does not mentions crucifixions).
Appian may have gotten the 6,000 from his source, or he may have made the number up. I won't even go into the fact that the earliest copy we have is medieval and the number could be a scribal error.

Modern Italian roads are often lined with trees for shade. I suspect most of the slaves were nailed or tied to trees lining the Appian Way.
In Spartacus the slaves were crucified with their clothes on, most disappointing for a series which had not been shy about sex and violence.

For that matter, there's St. Ursula, supposedly martyred along with 11,000 virgins. From the sound of things, a copyist somewhere along the way decided that the "M" for "martyrs" (or its Latin equivalent) was an M for 1,000; so the eleven virgins got three zeros attached to the number.

And now spread your legs, sit down on him, and give us the rest of the clothes. And do what you have to do to make him a proper sedulum. Ok. Now insert him wherever you want. Good. Sorry, no time for an orgasm. Lean at his body and stretch your arms. The deal is you don't give us problems, and you may stick together, in the literal meaning. Well, it is not this bad for now?
One nail for the right pair of wrists, one for the left. And we have spared a cross and the nails.
Hey, boy, would you park your right foot on her left foot sole? She has her spread legs outside yours now, in the dust. Excellent. For the moment, we use straps to fix sole to sole. And now let's continue with your left foot.
Ok, we heave you up. To scream of pain is quite normal. The full weight of your two bodies is carried only by your arms now, and he bears most of it. I bet his erection will not last for long. Oh, they passed out! Now their legs are relaxed enough to fix them.
The insteps of her feet touch the foreside of the long vertical pole, their heels touch his buttocks with maximal angulated knees, the two nails are positioned at the insteps of his feet, and with a fierce hammer blow those nails are driven through his feet, her feet, and finally deep into the wood. We remove the straps, they are not needed any longer. As soon as their ligaments stretch enough, he will sit more or less comfortable on the heels, she will sit on his thighs, while her thighs enfold his body and the vertical pole of the cross.
Oh, here you are again, back from fainting. Everything ready! Now start to kiss each other, and if you deliver a nice show, the people will feed you enough to have you survive some days longer. Hey folks, who lays a bet on the number of their orgasm?

Having done this to @Eulalia and @Barbaria1 several times at Crux Park, I can guarantee I enjoyed it. About 99.9999999% certain they did too.
Images above are two of three dozen fabulous ones @SeD did for the story below:

Not enough men to do the work, not enough material, and slaves with the strength of an ox? Of course, we have to flog them. You think flogging doesn't take time? And it shortens the lifespan up on the cross. Be assured, the principal doesn't like this. Calculate everything, the time, the resources needed. If you find me a couple that is cooperative, be my guest! And to see them trying to have a nice time up there, it is fun too.

Barb, ya' gotta look on the bright side. At least there's no chance swallowing's on the agenda.
Oops, my bad, not true. Perhaps with a little assistance from the guards, we could transfer ...
