Public Executions In The Arena

Go to CruxDreams.com
Summa supplicia erant secundum ius Romanum atroces et ignominiosae poenae capitales, quorum damnati erant qui statum civitatis non habebant. Hi erant:

Hoc index invenitur in Digesti excerpto: «Capitalium poenarum fere isti gradus sunt. Summum supplicium esse videtur ad furcam damnatio. Item vivi crematio: quod quamquam summi supplicii appellatione merito contineretur, tamen eo, quod postea id genus poenae adinventum est, posterius primo visum est. Item capitis amputatio. Deinde proxima morti poena metalli coercitio. Post deinde in insulam deportatio»

The same image, at a better resolution.
That guy does remind me of Jeremy Corbyn (new leader of UK Labour Party)
'Now come on, lions, you know we're vegetarians against war,
let's just sit round a table and negotiate a peaceful settlement' :D

FUSTIGATIO ANTE CRUCEM
As a rebel slave, the young Germanic woman was condemned to be whipped before being nailed to a cross.
I love this one, it's exactly my favourite fantasy -
to be whipped naked like that in the Arena in front of a cheering, jeering crowd,
given a night in a dungeon to recover
(though the guards can do whatever they want with me
while I'm there), then out before dawn to carry my crossbar
to the Place of Execution - grrrrrrrrrrrrr, I get so wet thinking of it!

(a tip Michele - best not to use light coloured fonts for text here,
some of us use the Default white background, and can't see them -
I've changed yours to a deeper colour that shows up on both backgrounds)
