At that time, a cross would have carried about the same meaning as a noose.

wouldn’t an electric chair be a closer match in meaning? nooses usually symbolize suicide moreso than execution these days

That depends where you are. In America it is more often associated with lynchings than suicide.

Janus with one a sounds like it might be a couple of countries south of me, we spell it Jaanus here in Estonia

So basically I’m suspecting eastern europe for their origin and over here we mostly don’t think about lynching very much. Execution by hanging was a thing but so long ago it’s nearly forgotten.
