Final catch up.

Trying to choke back the words "righteous asses," and failing.

Separate from "self-righteous asses", which are a different thing entirely.

This one is quite stoic up on her cross. Perhaps reflecting on the poor life decisions that led her to this point?

I’m not a huge fan of gratuitous torture of the already crucified, but perhaps someone should encourage this girl to put on more of a show.

That’s what Cordero, Jedakk and Damian always had in mind.

This one is a challenge for any background subtraction algorithm because the background is so non-uniform, from the bright spot on the upper right to the dark lower-left corner. Let's see how it does:

Me too.

Crucifixion is one gratuitous torture after another. After all, if you just want to kill a woman you can just lop her head off in her jail cell. IfYou want to execute her, that’s something else entirely, and there needs to be a bit of a show. Yes, there’s got to be torture and pain, in public, for the execution to really mean something. And if you whip them before the crucifixion, why not during?

I hated Beata since we are girls, and she hated me as well. But this begun even before we first met. We were daughters of two neighbours who hated one another but they are forced to live side by side in our small village. They teached us how to hate one another, and we were perfect apprentices. No one could count rude words, kicks, stones we had been exchanging day after day. Finally when we both fell in love with the same boy, we were determined to get rid of the rival. The perfect opportunity emerged a week ago. Someone killed the rich widow from the neighbourhood and never have been found. So, I decided to go to the prefect's house and make a report to the authorities, stating that Beata was a guilty one. I was very angry when I realized she did exactly the same. And then we both realized that we overdid. The praetor had no time nor skilled investigators to verify our reports and he simply ordered to crucify both me and her. We were scared, but he listened to no complaints nor explanations. And this morning we were both nailed to the crosses side by side...

Let's brighten their day a little....

Full rotation of the camera showing the execution of ten criminals crucified successively week after week on the same cross by a mountain road.

Apparently the authorities of this city look after the vultures far more then after the slave women.

Raped on the road in the Thursday evening by four drunken Roman soldiers, young inhabitant of the Celtic village, Rebecca, dared to defend her virginity with something more than her bare hands: she caught the stone and hit one of the aggressors. It was enough to be considered a criminal and an enemy of a Roman Empire. No further investigation nor interrogation were conducted and in the Friday morning she was unclothed, gang raped again and nailed to her cross as a warning sign for other girls...

 

[Andyman]

Naked and nailed.

 

[Andyman]

Dancing and weeping.

 

[Andyman]

Defencelessness and pain.

 

[Andyman]

Shame... shame... shame...!
And paaaain!!!
