Crucify by Lionus (1997)

The Punishment of Lionus the Magic Lion.

A fantasy-historical pencil drawing done during a period of personal depression.

I very very rarely ever do angtsy (read that as feeling sorry for one's self) drawings. It might be theraputic to get one's feelings out, but there are much better ways of working off the emotions behind those feelings. Like with an axe. [Just kidding folks !] :)

Crucifixtion was a form of capital punishment meted out by most of the ancient civilizations. The Romans used it throughout their empire for nearly a thousand years. Did you know that the Romans used various forms for crucifixion beyond what is today the "tradional" cross? X, Y, T and I-shapes. Inventive people the Romans.
