Sonja in the Roman camp - 1
Sonja had gone to Lendingen with her friend Fiona. There the annual Roman Festival took place. The Roman Association of Lendingen was famous nationwide. The people lived their hobby on a large area, on whichstood realistic replicas of Roman buildings. There were Roman roads and houses, baths, artisan houses and everything related to ancient Rome. It looked like a real Roman city in Germany around the year 50AD.
After a while, the two girls came to a marketplace. In the middle of it rose a big cross.
„What's that?“ Fiona asked, shaking her red hair. „A cross in ancient Rome? They prayed to gods, Jupiter and Apollo and all the others in temples. What's the cross doing here?“
„This is not a religious sign,“ came a voice from behind. „There we hang on to bad boys and girls.“
They turned around.
„Sophie!“ said Sonja. Her classmate from vocational school stood before her, dressed in a Roman garb. Beside her stood a young man, also dressed like a Roman. It was Sophie's boyfriend Dennis.
Dennis pointed to the cross: „As punishment, bad boys and girls are crucified.“ He grinned widely.
„Oh,“ said Fiona. She grinned back. „Crucifixion in the middle of the marketplace.“
„Exactly,“ said Dennis. „So everyone can watch.“
„Not really?“ Sonja asked. She looked at the big cross.
„Yes, yes!“ Sophie answered. She came to Sonja and took her arm: „Look! Do you see the leather cuffs? This will tie you at the wrists and ankles.“
„Serious?“ Sonja exclaimed.“Not true!“ She wondered why she suddenly had such a fast heartbeat and her ears became hot.
„Serious!“, Sophie confirmed. She smiled at Sonja: „We want it as authentic as possible here at the festival. This includes one or the other crucifixion. We try to have at least one crucifixion per day. Of course, several are possible.“
Shelaughed at Sonja: „Because the condemned always hang on the crossfor only one hour.“
„One hour ...“ echoed Sonja. She stared at the big cross.
„Yes, an hour,“ said Dennis. He had stepped beside her. „There will be a show trial. They judge you and then you will be crucified for an hour. Of course we only take volunteers.“ Dennis laughed at her: „At the time of the Romans, the convicts were left to stew on the cross for one day. It should be a punishment. Disobedient slaves and thieves were punished. They were displayed in public places. A whole day on the cross did convert every thief, believe me. But one hour can be withstood.“
„It's very interesting,“ said Sophie.
„Interesting?“ Sonja asked. She could not take her eyes off the big wooden cross.
„An interesting feeling sensation,“ Sophie confirmed. „You have to experience it.“
Sonja looked at her school friend: „Do you have ...?“
Sophie laughed at her: „Me? Sure! Two times already!“
„Twice?“ Sonja swallowed. „You just did it?“
„Yes,“ Sophie answered. „You are eighteen years old.You only have to say that you want to do it“
These words gave Sonja such a pounding heart that she felt dizzy. She stared at the cross. „One hour,“ she said.
Sophie nodded: „One hour.“
Fiona stared at Sonja: „Do you want to do that?“
„Why not?“ Sonja said. „I think it is worth a try.“ She looked down at herself: „However, I do not wear the right clothes. No Roman clothes.“
Dennis and Sophie laughed.
„Don´t worry, Sonja,“ Sophie said. „You wear the right disguise: your skin.“ She grinned. „There's nothing about clothing on the cross.“
„Nothing,“ Sonja repeated. She looked at Sophie: „Nothing at all?“
Sophie shook her head: „Nothing! This little linen thing the Jesus figure in the Catholic churches wears, is not authentic. The crucified were always naked. That was part of the punishment. They were displayed in the open public. They were naked and crucified at the marketplace. It was an additional humiliation of the convicts that they were naked.“
She pushed Sonja in the side: „C´mon! You want it, right? Then come on! We'll take you to the court. They will be happy. Because today we did not have any crucifixion.“
Sonja let her friend lead her away. She walked as if in a dream. Her heart was pounding. Fiona appeared at her side: „You're really going through this?“
„Yes,“ Sonja answered. Her mouth was dry. „I'll try that.“ She laughed uncertainly and felt her blush.
From then everything went pretty fast. Sophie took Sonja to a tent where she could take off her clothes. Sophie gave her a bulky smock of coarse fabric that Sonja was allowed to use for the trial.
„When the time comes, you will lose this simple piece of clothing too“, Sophie said. She saw Sonjas excitement. „If you want, you can choose a shame mask. That was a common punishment.“ She winked conspiratorially at Sonja. „Then you would be a little bit disguised. Nobody can recognize yourself under the mask. Maybe it would be better. If there are people here who know you. Maybe you do not want that at your first crucifixion.“
„At my first ...“, Sonja mumbled. She put on the short bag dress.
„Maybe you want to repeat it,“ Sophie said. She grinned. „Some People find it so interesting that they go to the cross more often than once.“
Sonja could not answer. Her heart did beat too hard. She was shivering with excitement.
After the first time more often to the cross, she thought. More often to the cross ...
„You're about to finish your trial. Let´s go to the court.“ Sophie said.
„Wait a second!“ She reached for a rope. „Turn around and put your hands on your back!“ Sonja obeyed. Her heartbeat was still increasing. She arched her arms backwards.
Sophie tied her wrists behind her back.
Sonja could not believe it. She stood half-naked in a roman tent and was tied up. In that way she would be presented to the judge.
Sophie gave her a slap on the butt: „Go on girl! The court is waiting.“ She led Sonja outside. Sonja let Sophie guide heer without any resistance.
As if in a dream, she witnessed the trial. It took place in a public arena.Dozens of spectators stood around her while Sonja was accused of theft of bread and the judge sentenced her.
„As punishment, you will be crucified for an hour at the marketplace,“ said the judge. He made an imperious move towards some legionaries: „Guards! Take her away!“
