Graffiti carved on an ancient Roman building could be the Crucifixion
The graffiti dates between 50AD and 250AD. It shows a human-like figure with the head of a donkey nailed to a cross with ancient Greek text that reads: 'Alexamenos worships God.'

To me the head resembles a horse showing short ears. In those raw roman times being nailed or strapped tight to wooden beams was cruel and all too common. So the art is a rare record that the ancient romans would rather omit to their future generations.
