What do historical commentaries say?

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And when they had mocked him, etc..] To their satisfaction, and had had enough of this sort of diversion: they took off the purple from him; and so, in their way, unkinged him; and put his own clothes on him: both that he might be known to be the same person; and that the four soldiers, who had the charge of him, might have the perquisites of his clothes at his execution: and led him out to crucify him: they led him out of the “praetorium”, or judgment hall, and through the city, without the gates of it, to the usual place of crucifixion; he bearing his own cross, when first led out.”
