Crosses Were Sacred to the Romans (Part 2).

Here's another two videos showing crosses were sacred to the Romans.

Below is Rob Whee's commentary within this video so you can read it without frequently pausing the video (which obliterates half the commentary!). Except for skipping irrelevant (in my opinion) commentary, spelling and punctuation corrections and slight formatting, I will not be calling out all his mistakes. To do so would clutter it up with sic marks and whatnot. I'll do that next post, ugh. Formatting, links, photos and items in brackets mine.

The Tropaion cross symbol was sacred to the ancient Romans. Sport trophies today came from this symbol of victory. Notice the prisoners bound at the base for they are the losers captured in battle.

After a victorious battle a triumph ceremony was held for tribute to Victoria. Victoria was a lady spirit with wings that grants victory in battle.

The tropaion [Greek: τρόπαιον, Latin: tropaeum], was a stick decorated with empty armor to mimic a warrior. The divine spirits (Latin spiritus: breath, air) would fill the armor.

The enemy prisoners, and their armor, were placed at the base of the trophy. Wood was important for siege weapons than for execution.

The cross symbol represented the life giving rays of the sun, and was reserved for divinity. To put a prisoned on it would be a sacrilege.

The symbology in coins, statues, wall reliefs, etc., is very clear as to the purpose and sacredness of the cross to the superstitious Romans.

The earliest symbology of crucifixion I can find is on the Colosseum, and that is most likely from the 6th century church that was built inside the stone-robbed structure. If you do the proper research for evidence of pre-Nicean Creed crucifixion you will come to the Dionysus, Bacchus, Caesar wax effigy controversy. Tropaion = sacred [cross].

Ask any nusmiatists, or coin collector, and they will tell you that money is a historical document to the society that minted it. That is why I mainly used [ancient coins].

The head bust of the women that you see on the head side of the coin is the Goddess Venus with the life giving sun cross in her ear (sacred).

The Goddess Venus was the celestial mother to Julius Caesar. Julius was an anointed with oil Christos (title) to Venus. Christos is Greek for annointed with oil (Christ). THe Roman clergy spoke/wrote Greek while the commoners used Latin. Like the Greeks they personified everything.

The elites of the ancient Roman Empire claimed for themselves lineage to divinity, because the people would not know better, and believe it.

The carrying of the Tropaion is a depiction of the Trojan war refugee Aeneas who founded Rome which is the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

Crucify replaced the homophones translation of Latin "cremo" cremate, Greek "kremo" to hang/impale. Romans would impale heads on a pike. The Romans were not shy with their symbology of sex/violence.

Caesar was cremated (cremo), and a wax effigy was hanged/nailed (kremo) on a Tropaion. People rubbed ashes from the pyre on their foreheads, because they seen him as divine....

Does this scene look familiar? The evidence presented for crucifixion is a joke! Find bent nails detecting all the time. Only physical evidence for crucifixion is a single shim bone with a nail in it. Near me in the 50's there was found under a boulder a pair of skeleton hands in rusted iron cuffs from the 1700's. This one surprise find does not make it common.

The ancient Greeks would erect the Tropaion on the battle field. The Romans used it for public display, and humiliation in Rome for witness.

It was sacreligious to desecrate this sacred symbol. Nike was the Greek version of Victoria. Depictions of deities with wings goes back to Sumeria.

Gaul is where central Europe (France, Germany, etc.) is today. The ancient Romans looked upon these tribes as savages and uncivilized. The ancient Romans did not offer [their nobility] the same respect as other nobility.

The Rebel Vercingetorix was responsible for 1000's of Roman Soldier deaths, and injuries. This man was a prime candidate for crucifixion.

After 5 years in prison he was strangled after a triumph ceremony as custom. Do you still think crucifixion on a sacred symbol happened?....

Imperial cult of Caesar deified Divus Iulius Christos. Julius's was effigy was nailed to a cross so crowd can observe stab wounds inflicted by senators. The daylight comet of 44 BCE during Julius's funeral games... [sentence peters out]. The Chinese document the comet of 44 BCE in their texts.

The Julian Star a.k.a. Caesar's Comet symbol was later used by Emperor Constantine with the early Christogram Chi Rho in guise of Greek letters X & P. Comet is Greek for Kometes (star with long hairs). Medieval art depicts... [sentence peters out].

I know the image of crucifixion has been ingrained in the minds of society for 1,000's of years. I had trouble myself unwrapping my head from this.

This is because the image of crucifixion presented to us is a sculpture (crucifix) or a picture of Jesus being nailed to a cross (crux immissa, which, because it is an interwoven or inlaid cross, is a tropaion. The ancient epigraphs are perfectly clear about this!
