There is question among historians whether or not Jesus would have been 'crucified' in the way we imagine today. (even whether he was executed at all) Records indicate that they did not start using the 'T'-shaped cross for executions until something like ~100 years later. The bible took hundreds of years to compile, and suffered a thousand years of revisions, by many different parties. (It contradicts itself enough times that you can't consider it an accurate account.) Some things were changed intentionally, others were altered in translation. It is most likely that Jesus was actually impaled on a 'torture stake'.
