Skull:
Lat., cranium (akin to kara, "the head"), is used of the scene of the Crucifixion, Mat 27:33; Mar 15:22; Jhn 19:17; in Luk 23:33, RV, "(the place which is called) The skull," AV, "Calvary" (from Latin calvaria, "a skull:" marg., "the place of a skull"). The locality has been identified by the traces of the resemblance of the hill to a "skull". In the Sept., Jdg 9:53; 2Ki 9:35.
