I agree with Trev. Not only would their feet rotate inward if they pushed, but their entire body weight is pressed against a singular point, rather than if they had them nailed separately on the side through the ankle. The former sounds more excruciating.

What is the intent of the executioners?
Nail one foot over the other to keep legs closer together...perhaps unintentionally preserving some dignity for the victim as her genitals will not be as exposed. I don't know what this will do for the time she survives on the cross...all other things being equal. I agree, CADRE, this does seem to accentuate the body line of the victim...the width of her hips, the length and curves of her thighs and legs, for example...and perhaps she'll squirm side to side more, most appealingly!. But nailing one foot over the other has to be very difficult. Perhaps best done with the whole cross on the ground.
Nailing the feet separately allows the executioner to space them as close or as far apart as desired. This will increase/maximize the view of (and access to) her genitals and no doubt increase her sense of humiliation (if that's even possible...or even a concern...for someone otherwise nailed naked to a cross). I suspect this gives more support especially if her feet are nailed to a separate piece of wood that is then affixed to the upright. No doubt much easier to do than one long nail through both feet. Will also give more support, I think, and will increase her time on the cross...again, all other things being equal.
In my fantasies it would be two nails...I want to feel a breeze between my hot, sweaty thighs!
Romans liked to humiliate condemned. Because that nailing the feet separately is betterWhat is the intent of the executioners?

Yes, her feet would have to be nailed to the stipes while the cross was still on the ground. And, as Tree mentioned above, if both of her feet were pierced by a single nail, it requires an increasing amount of effort (accompanied by more pain of course) for the victim to press her knees together the longer that she hangs from the cross.What is the intent of the executioners?

Roxie has no pride... so what happens now???Yes, her feet would have to be nailed to the stipes while the cross was still on the ground. And, as Tree mentioned above, if both of her feet were pierced by a single nail, it requires an increasing amount of effort (accompanied by more pain of course) for the victim to press her knees together the longer that she hangs from the cross.
In addition to aesthetics like I'd already said, I like to think of it this way Roxie: after you grow exhausted from hanging on the cross, you have two options: 1) you can endure the pain of pressing your knees together(while twisting your feet on the nail) to preserve some form of dignity, or 2) you can forsake your dignity and assume a less painful position (knees spread, feet pierced by a single nail, and your sex fully exposed). It's like giving you a choice Roxie: humiliation or pain - it adds to your mental anguish.
Give her a painful reason to WANT to press her knees together...?

After hanging from your cross long enough, you lack the strength and mental stamina to push up with your feet. Then, you simply hang from your wrists. How's that breeze...
Better strengthen those thighs, then,That is true but with the feet on the sides there is no foundation and the thighs become the driving force in raising up.
Trust me ... I know! Nails excluded.
You really feel helpless!
