This is total nonsense.
Crucifixion was not rare at all, it was one of the most common punishments for slaves, non-citizen criminals and enemy combattants when there was an uprising.
Josephus writes about thousands of people fleeing Jerusalem being crucified, and when the Roman soldiers got bored, they started to hang the victims in the most ridiculous poses, just for fun. The combattants of spartacus were crucified along the via appia. In Jerusalem a grave was found of a young man who was crucified. Numerous classical writers wrote about crucifixio as a punishment. Petronius writes about a slave who got crucified by his owner, a freedman.
Petrus, the apostle was crucified upside down............ et cetera et cetera et cetera.
M.VIB.M.
