Ancient Roman "Crucifixion Spike"
1st - 2nd Century AD

"Crucifixion spikes," Roman nails believed to be the type of device used during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
These nails were part of a discovery found by Professor Richmond in 1961 while excavating a Roman fortress called Inchtuthil in Roman Britain. There is no evidence whatsoever that any of these were indeed used for crucifixion... these same spikes were also used for building and construction projects to a varying degree. But these construction spikes were also used at the time for crucifixions... special spikes were not made for that purpose, just the most painful and disposable spikes readily available at that time. Of all the spikes I have ever handled, these specific examples were made at exactly the same time as the events were unfolding in the Holy Land, and as painfully close to the examples used in Jerusalem at the time. Extremely well-preserved for iron, because of the low oxygen content in the earth in which they were discovered. ex-Santa Barbara County, CA scholastic collection; ex-Harlan J. Berk.
