Theological Dictionary of the New Testament lists three cross forms including traditional cross

Did Jesus Die on a Cross or a Stake? Here's the Evidence. 00:11:40 – 00:12:11

The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (TDNT) is a third major scholarly source Winger cites. It describes stauros as used for three basic cross shapes.

TDNT states: the cross was (1) a vertical pointed stake, OR (2) an upright with a crossbeam above it (T-shaped), OR (3) two intersecting beams of equal length (X-shaped). The word stauros encompasses all three in scholarly usage.
