Crucifixion and Death as Spectacle explores how the first caliphal dynasty of early Islam, the Umayyads, employed crucifixion to punish brigands and heretics and to humiliate rebels and enemies, and how they drew upon a late antique legacy of punitive practices associated with crucifixion in the Late Roman and Sasanid Persian worlds.
