Sometimes it's good to get out and watch the "men's team", even if they aren't as popular as the women.
Nice work!

Sometimes ago @Juan1234 started a thread called "Flogged to death" with: "So do you think it's possible to write a good story about a girl being beaten to death? Is it possible to hold the reader's interest the whole time?? Think of it as a challenge." The idea interested me quite a lot, and I...

Love it, Madiosi! Great atmosphere and colouring, preserving the painting quality. The girl is quite nice too.
Overall the contrast of the erotic aspect of the girl walking to her cross with the simplicity of the composition and the "afternoon" lighting raises a sort of tension, which I quite like. Maybe it's because she's going to lie down on the beach, but not quite the way she would like perhaps.

So, the Romans had laws against going topless on a public beach, and the penalty was crucifixion???

Seriously, nice pic Madiosi. I agree with everything Jolly said about it.
They probably did, actually. The Romans, by and large (apart from on festivals like Saturnalia when they let themselves go) were quite prudish. Christianity with its conservative morals appealed to common Roman people because they saw the libertarian excesses and orgies of the aristocratic class (and Nero, for example). They weren't so much rejecting Roman tradition as choosing a new god that appealed to their sense of propriety.
Anyway, the penalty for being Christian was getting turned into a human patio lantern, I believe.
