In regard to Jesus' dying after only three hours on the cross, keep in mind that 1) he hadn't slept since Wednesday night, and 2) he was scouraged at the pillar. It is my reading of the gospels' account that the scouraging was meant by Pilate to assuage the crowd calling for a crucifixion, and that it was not normal procedure to precede a crucifixion with a scouraging.

I'm sorry but this is getting ridiculous and into pure speculation. No one knows any of this, there is no historically valid record/collaboration of the stories that have been told over and over some many times that people take them as truth, but there is no such truth in them. We and you have no idea what really happened 2000 years ago or even if the man called jesus even existed. It could be pure fabrication.
Let's get back to the topic at hand society, civilization, law, etc.
