Large Roman "Crucifixion Spike" Type Nail // Early 1st century AD
Product Description
This ancient Roman "Crucifixion Spike" type nail originates in Roman Britain, circa early 1st century AD. This nail was made within 45 years of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which most likely occurred in 33 AD. If it were not for the archaeological context of their discovery, these nails would be indistinguishable from the crucifixion nails used in Judea at the time. This nail was part of a discovery found by Professor Richmond in 1961 while excavating a Roman fortress called Inchtuthil in Roman Britain.
