Orgy of Speculation
For really smart people, they sure do speculate a lot. They also use vast generalizations on Roman life at the time. I get the significance of the DSS but they are incredibly vague and offer little insight. They're basically a near-Fatwa of some sort with next to nothing revealing useful specifics on everyday life. Like, the Essenes who wrote them weren't an all-star crew of reporters and scholars. They were gypsies and hippies.
Also, to essentially classify crucifixions as "no big deal back then" is beyond preposterous. Every indication was that they were not frequent enough to laugh off. Every one was must-see TV for the peasantry. Crucifixions were laborious and needed logistics and planning.
The fact that this was made in 1998 and is being rehashed now in 2020 (of all years) is all you need to know
