iirc they break your shins so that you die faster if its taking too long, and there was a prophecy that none of jesus’ bones would be broken.

I think there’s a theory that the vinegar was posca, a mix of vinegar and water that was better than straight vinegar. Not that that was really a kindness since he’d survive longer and suffer more

Though idk where you’re getting the part about suffering more, you don’t die from dehydration during crucifixion, you die because you can’t breathe anymore.
