One of the best crucifixion images ever!

This is true, Willow, if terror and intimidation is the point.A public execution is all about terror and intimidation.
A victim screaming and writhing in agony for even 10-20 minutes can be just as effective as someone slowly dying over a period of days.

This is true, Willow, if terror and intimidation is the point.
But if the spectators assemble for purposes of entertainment, prolonged screaming and writhing is preferred.
(A tip of the hat to Jastrow.)
Willow, that’s the 20th century concept of totalitarian control by terror.But when was the LAST time ANY authorities cared about the riff-raff as long as they did as they were told?

Remember, the Romans were all about bread and circuses.
No love reply and not we’ll speak English.You've got the lighting just right. It gives a 3D effect. Nicely done....wait a minute! You joined five years ago. Why have you taken so long to post?
Great sequence!Mailnan.
He came and went on the old Yahoo Crux site. Kind of wish he had stuck around.
The following images depict a modern crux, or perhaps one in the near future, where crucifixion has been brought back as a routine method of execution.
Possibly for abortion, birth control, or teaching girls to read.
This pose should be in every crux-artists arsenal!Raising oneself to exhale and howl is one of the signature moves of The Dance.
Alice, Christina, Torturo and Jane were really good at it.
You doggone betcha.I like scene from rome arena, but signature is importen.

I just noticed that! Scummy behavior! Imagine if I was just getting into the scene, and only saw this one imagine, I wouldn't be able to track down the dozens of fantastic, erotic, and sexy images that Damian also made. THIS IS WHY WE SIGN OUR WORK. It's the mark of an ARTIST. Attribution is everything, I had that image on my HD for years and didn't know it was Damian's!
I know, @jucundus and I have both encountered this recently, and I dare say you have too. Scummy twats removing our signatures (and cropping off other bits around the periphery of the artwork at the same time). It’s both pointless and rude! These people should be shot, stabbed, diced and beaten flat with meat-tenderisers!I just noticed that! Scummy behavior!

Hmmm. Then crucifixion is too good for them?I know, @jucundus and I have both encountered this recently, and I dare say you have too.

Well, you are lucky that nobody accuses you of being a traitor and that you are the one who is removing the signatures.I just noticed that! Scummy behavior!
