Aside from historical texts I have seen it displayed only once in one of the episodes of Xena where the blow of the Hammer/reaction of the victim concludes the scene. However brutal it was regarded as an act of mercy since the victim was not longer able to "dance".
To my taste it could add some spice especially to mass crucifixion scenes where some of the victims receive this kind of dubious mercy and some don`t.
But it seems that this aspect of crucifixion does not attract any of the artists or reenactors since I have seen no pictures anywhere involving this (historically quite common) practice. Could this fantasY really be too brutal?
