Therefore, since Jesus was publically executed for the crime of treason, it would be against Roman protocol to allow his body to be given a proper burial, as stated in the Digesta.
Probability says that Jesus was not given a proper burial in some rich man's tomb due to the fact that he was executed for the crime of treason against Caesar himself.
