In fact, the cross used in crucifixion would have been T-shaped, not cross-shaped as Christians assume. The T-shape is much stronger and easier to construct than a cross. Sorry, I thought that was a fairly widely accepted thing these days so I didn't point it out, but that was what started me wondering.
