This method is Poena cullei (penalty of the sack), used as a way of punishing those who kill their mother, father or other close relatives (known as parricide) - it stems from ancient Rome. The first known version of the punishment was carried out right around 98 BC until the Emperor Hadrian really ramped it up in the 2nd Century AD. The Punishment For the crime of killing your nearest and dearest, you met your maker in just as cruel a manner. First, you would be bound by the hands. Then, a sack made of animal skin placed over your head (already horrible on a hot day, as you instantly start to panic and slightly suffocate). Next, they couldn’t have you running off blind, bound and gasping, so they would place wooden clogs or boards on your feet. Now, they proceed to beat the hell out of you. Actually, they beat you until you’re bloody (it’s the law) and then, gasping for air and unable to see the gruesome wounds, they then beat you a bit more. And now we wait for you to die....
