How would you research the HISTORY of crucifixion?

So, using Logos (I have 6), how would you research the HISTORY of the crucifixion? Basically looking for common practices, etc. For example, was it common for the one being crucified to be naked? That type of thing...

I look forward to the responses.

My first instinct is to go to Factbook and search crucifixion there.

I think this is the exact resource you are looking for. I have found more nuggets in it than I will ever be able to use. It has given me a more full, complete perspective on the Crufixion.

Also look at The Cross of Christ by Stott.

I second this suggestion. It usually goes on sale during Easter, but I guess not this year.
