Thanks Cruxlover for this unique (in my experience) image showing the crucified female having had her legs broken, a victim of crucrifragium.
The link <https://worldofdictionary.com/dict/latin-english/meaning/crurifragium> details the meaning of the term 'crurifragium' as the breaking
of the legs of crucified victims.
Rarely (if ever) are crucified victims shown with broken legs, even among images in the 'dead crucified bodies' thread. Bravo!
Apparently, the Romans considered this 'an act of mercy' as it would hasten the death of the victim they had crucified - the victim could no longer push their agonised body up to enable them to breathe.
Tales Romani misericordiae eius (English to Latin translation - 'Such is Roman mercy' ??).
I attach a crucifixion manipulation I created featuring Meredith (Mitchel?), a star of Elite Pain Case 18, having her legs broken. On the other side of the cross, I manipulated an image of Jenet from behind. She may be about to have a spear driven into her side, ending her suffering and thus creating another crucifixion opportunity (or perhaps to suffer further punishment by a spear being driven and twisted in her breasts, causing further entertainment for the Roman mob).
The reason for 2 victims being nailed up on the same cross was a surplus of victims sentenced be crucified and a shortage of available crosses to which they could be nailed.
