Crucifixion was among the cruelest punishments ever devised. It was used earlier by the Carthaginians, but the Romans employed crucifixion on a wide scale—though it was always considered poor taste to discuss it in proper society. Crucifixion was strictly a punishment for criminals and slaves, being designed as much for torture and terror as killing.
