Crux simplex
text:
The term crux simplex was invented by Justus Lipsius (1547–1606) to indicate a plain transom-less wooden stake used for executing either by affixing the victim to it or by impaling him with it. He thus distinguished two types of crux simplex: the crux simplex ad affixionem and the crux simplex ad infixionem. Lipsius contrasted the crux simplex with the two-timber structure that he called a crux compacta, and that he subdivided into three types: crux decussata (X-shaped), crux commissa (T-shaped)
