You need more money as 4 sesterces are count per worker, and you can't operate the execution alone

So there we have it. Crucifixion as a form of organised & advertised entertainment.
As if that wouldn’t include some lovely busty wenches, who as I’ve elaborated before, were worth LESS than men at slave markets, as they were less able to do heavy work.
Case closed as far as I’m concerned

The clip states that they were also licensed to carry out funerals in town.
Nowadays, many funeral undertakers are rooted in a carpenter's trade. They produced coffins, and some day came up with the idea to boost their coffin sales by starting a funeral business.
Of course, if you crucifiy and organise burials, the crucifixions are a good supplier for the burials. And, from the other side, if you are also a carpenter, you can also provide the crosses and the coffins! So the crucifixions would not pay a lot, but they are crucial in the carpenter's business model.

This is part of an hour long programme from the Smithsonian Channel. Three people were crucified: two male and one female. Sadly they were all overdressed, but you see the girl briefly at the end of the clip.
In the clip, 12 denarii are passed to the execution, the scene around the table. This is enough to fund 12 crucifixion workers, or 4 workers to do 3 crucifixions, etc. Red Orc says the clip goes on to show 3 crucifixions, so four men in a typical work gang?
Or you could employ enthusiasts, who would happily work for free as Madi rightly points out
One denarius is also a lot lighter than carrying around 4 big sestertii, hard on the money pouch!

Declare a few slaves as workers. You cash the money for them, but of course, they don't get any of it!
