    Yes, there is evidence that women were crucified.

    One Roman punishment if a slave killed their master was often that all slaves in the household were crucified. I imagine there were less women crucified overall and that it was less common, but I don’t think there’s evidence that women were exempted.

      This happened to the slaves of Lucius Pedanius Secundus when he was murdered by one of his slaves. All 400 of his slaves including whomen and children were crucified.
