Roman decadence
These prisoners, man and wife, were leaders of a small tribe in Gaul. The man was tied to a post and his wife was made to walk naked around the Roman camp with a heavy post on her shoulders.
The Romans had taken over 100 prisoners from this tribe. The Centurion gave the order to bring them all out to watch the punishment.
“I want you to watch the punishment!” he shouted. “Keep your eyes open and fixed on the two rebels!”
The crowd fell silent as the Centurion took up position next to the chieftain, held up a cat o’nine tails and slowly pulled his muscular arm back…
SWIIIIISH!
THWAAAACK!
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
He brought it down a dozen times onto the man’s buttocks. The man screamed as pieces of metal and bone dug into his flesh.
Then the Centurion turned to the wife.
“Turn round. Show these people your ass, bitch!”
SWIIIIISH!
THWAAAACK!
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
The woman received a dozen painful blows that marked her buttocks and drew blood.
