How many nails in the cross: 3 or 4?

I've studied the Bible backwards and forwards, upward and downwards, many times and can't find reference to this.





A friend of mine will be reenacting the crucifixion to show his devotion to Jesus. I gotta buy some nails to help.How many nails in the cross: 3 or 4?
The Bible doesn't say. There could have been several. Note this reference work:





';Much time and trouble have been wasted in disputing as to whether three or four nails were used in fastening the Lord. Nonnus affirms that three only were used, in which he is followed by Gregory Nazianzen. The more general belief gives four nails, an opinion which is supported at much length and by curious arguments by Curtius. Others have carried the number of nails as high as fourteen.鈥欌€擟yclopaedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature, by M鈥機lintock and Strong, Volume聽II, page聽580.';How many nails in the cross: 3 or 4?
