Casting lots. On the one hand, we shudder to think of soldiers gambling over Jesus' clothing. On the other hand, lots were used to determine which disciple would take Judas' place among the Twelve (Acts 1:26).
The point seems to be Jesus' humiliation. For as he is dying, they gamble for his clothing, leaving him naked, exposed, humiliated on the cross.
