Her crucifixion is beyond the hell Sabina expected. The spikes driven through her limbs hurt more than she could imagine. The men hold her as steady as they can to finish their task of crucifying the condemned woman.The hammer falls, driving the nail through Sabina's right wrist and into the timber. This new agony sends her screaming and writhing once again.

With her arms firmly nailed to the wood, Sabina curls to attempt to find some comfort and to cover her nakedness. She is successful in doing either. To her horror, the crowd, led by women's voices, cheerfully call for the crew to complete their task. Her agony does not matter to the spectators. They want to see the woman raised and have her naked body displayed to them as she suffers her slow death on the cross...Sabina twists herself around and tries to curl into a fetal position. It protects her from nothing, leaving her as exposed as before. The crowd continues to watch, anticipating the next steps in her execution.
In agony from the throbbing wounds in her wrists, whipped and abused like a pitiful animal, Sabina twists herself around and tries to curl into a fetal position. It protects her from nothing, leaving her as exposed as before. The crowd continues to watch, anticipating the next steps in her execution.
This image, to me, encapsulates the entire thrust of crucifixion in general. Power, pure power. Unfettered, unrelenting, unforgiving power...In agony from the throbbing wounds in her wrists, whipped and abused like a pitiful animal, Sabina twists herself around and tries to curl into a fetal position. It protects her from nothing, leaving her as exposed as before. The crowd continues to watch, anticipating the next steps in her execution.

Some victim's eye views:
A man in the crowd takes a drink. He sighs 'She never screamed like that when we made love...'Still trying to find some position in which the agony is less, Sabina carefully rolls her body over until she is flat on the ground again. She makes no attempt at any kind of modesty; pain is her only consideration now. And she can't forget that it will become much worse.

I bet she did, you now...'She never screamed like that when we made love...'
Thank you Jedakk, for continuing to provide these amazing images of sweet, forlorn, and doomed Sabina!The time has come for the two Nubians to move Sabina to her cross. They take hold of the ends of her beam, preparing to lift it and drag her by her nailed wrists to the post where they will hang her. She is helpless. She pulls her feet up as far as she can, instinctively getting positioned to push with her legs and try to protect her wrists. Maybe that will help some. She stares in horror, pleading for them not to hurt her any more.
