Loxuru: hay fewer? It's not impossible, however rarely mentioned by the authors! You are right. Think of more: an aching tooth for example. The single hay fever or toothache or headache could make you crazy if you are immobilized. And there is few more common factors, for example insomnia. In normal conditions after some 40-60 hours of forced activity without sleep everybody is near to the kind of delirium, hearing strange voices and seeing monsters. I suppose that this "thousand deaths" you die when crucified is not far from the truth!

A simple itching will already be a nightmare upon the nightmare!

The praefect followed the advice to put her further away from the market stalls, so she would not disturb the trading between the merchants and their clients.

Great drawings, Andy!:clapping::clapping::clapping:

Economy of the crucifixion: someone must be deposited from the cross to nail someone other to the same wood. The condemned woman is not worthy preparing of a new beam...

Even though she is the wife of a Senator? The man only committed treason after all. How does that make his wife unworthy of her own new cross?
 
You know, in this case the situation is uncommon 'cause the spot is in the middle of a town... No free space to store the old patibula... And there is no idea to remove the used patibulum from the cross and drag it back to the prison some 50 meters down the same street. It needs much less work to leave it where it is fixed and to lift the condemned up and nail her using ropes and ladders. Be realist!
 
Once again, the sadness around and the sadness inside. You hit the point, Barbaria. No one on the picture cares what she might be thinking. But we can realize that, paraphrasing Simon & Garfunkel, the woman, stripped and prepared to be hanged, "she gives the world its saddest sound".

The Roman soldier on the left seems to be enjoying the spectacle. I wonder if she knows him?
