They definitely had nails..... But putting a bar on top wouldn't have been structurally sound without em.... it would just topple.

The christians say that the bit on top wasn't part of the cross; rather, it was a sign saying something along the lines of "this is the son of God."

"This is Jesus of nazareth, king of jews" If I have it correct.

it still wasn't practical. Besides it actually says something about a tree witch would be the shape of |, but when crucifixions took place they would attach - across. This some symbolic meaning, and because they liked to tie the head to the top piece. Made torturing more phun

IESVS - Jesus. NAZARENVS - His Home/last name, REX - Leadership/leader/high in power. IVDÆORVM - Well. Judah/Jews/Jewish. Also: www.britannica.com/dictionary?va=INRI
