Nailing Feet

Go to CruxDreams.com
yes they found one from ancient roman times
a very stabil affixing for the feet
View attachment 1466066i would choose that for my crucifixion , spread the legs for a nice vew for the spectators
Exactly. For a small fee, everyone will caress your body (including your breasts and pussy), and for a slightly larger fee, they will have sex with you while you are nailed to the cross (but before lifting it up).
 
Hello. Strange...there are only two founds of bones for crucified man. Both had been nailed trough the heelbone. Bute here, I see no picture from nailing through the heelbone
My personal theory is: there is only one found of nailed heelbone because it was exception. A unique (or very rare) occasion.
There were hundreds of thousands of people if not millions crucified through history. If nailing through the heel bone would have been the custome, there should be many more simmilar nailed bones discovered.
I think the custom was to drive through the nail between the bones of the foot. (Practical reasons: hammering through a bone is a hard work. If you would have to crucify a dozen people a day, would you do it the hard, or the easy way?)
If the nail didn't go through a bone, there could be no archeological founds.
The foot has much ticker structure than the hand and the direction of the pressure is the opposite while hanging on the cross, so it is were unlikely that the victims could tear their feet out of the nail. When the pain is already unbearable, tearing out the nail through your whole foot is impossible.
I think that one found heelbone was an exception. Maybe the foot of the victim was badly injured, amputated or maybe he actually managed to tear out his foot off the nail, then the got another one through the heel.

This is of course just my opinion. What do you think?

Sounds quite plausible
 
I think it is safe to assume that crucifixion victims were discarded after death to be eaten by wild dogs and similar or just buried in mass graves. We have that heel bone because the victm was buried properly after death, which must've been the exception.

the roman soldiers got her full creativity to crucify her victims, the only order
was to guarantee the death of the crucified in the end.
the nailing through a heebone is very easy, stabil and not mutch bloodvessels there good for a long suffering
sometimes there wasn´t enough nails, so they drove one through both wrist or feet..or used ropes

First, how likely are we to find skeletons of crucified people? The archaeologist's account of the Giv'at ha-Mivtar remains notes that ossuary burial was for the wealthy, and wealthy people presumably were less likely to do the sorts of things that got you crucified. Per the account, most people's bones in Roman Judea were buried in pits. And crucified slaves might not have been buried at all; just thrown on a dungheap.

Second, an iron nail was a valuable thing. It took a lot of man-hours and wood to produce it, and you wouldn't just throw it away. In both the Giv'at ha-Mivtar and the Cambridgeshire remains, the nail had become bent, so that it couldn't be drawn from the ankle. But in most cases, nails used in crucifixion would've been drawn for re-use before the disposal of the corpse.

yes iron was rare in ancient times, also wood they used it many times
romans crucified thousends of slaves along the via appia, a logistic nightmare to
built all theese crosses..maybe the wood and nails running out and bound some to trees

That's why nailing feet with one nail was, is and will be the most popular, it's faster, cheaper, and the feet look better on the cross.
 
Take a look at her feet. See how her toes curl on her left foot? Why?
Probably when the nail was driven into her metatarsal, as it penetrated, it not only pierced her bones, but also broke the tendons and severed the nerves of her toes.

The fingers of her hands also curl, here too the tendons and nerve ligaments have been severed.
As a result, she no longer has any response in her toes or fingers, even if she wanted to move them, they remain curled like that until the end of her life.
As soon as the nails entered her, at the same time, her fingers and toes immediately curled up completely involuntarily. It's likely simultaneously it had been release a muscle/nerve spasm of life threatening pain. It's likely that she lost consciousness more than once upon feeling the nails penetrate her.

any executioners was skilled , the nails hit the nerves , so the toes and fingers
are paralised and the nail edges caused lightnings of pain
