Specialist Notes
The "De Cruce", a study on capital punishment in antiquity, is also a disquisition on the technical details of the crucifixion as reported by the Bible, by the Fathers of the Church and in Christian iconography. It can be considered as a continuation of Lipsius' previous studies on the uses of the ancients, such as "De Gladiatoribus" (1582) and "De Anphiteatro" (1584).
