Deep dives
Crucifixion of Robbers in Roman Times
Contrary to popular belief, Romans did crucify robbers as well. While theft involves taking someone's property, robbery involves taking it by force, and thus it carries a violent connotation. When robbery occurred on water, it was termed piracy, and the Romans were known to crucify pirates. Historical examples, such as Julius Caesar's crucifixion of pirates, demonstrate this practice.
