Public Executions In The Arena
Rufina! What were you thinking when you refused to sell them the pots they wanted and then made matters worse by breaking that image of Venus! What would it have mattered if we just sold them what they desired? And what would it have mattered if we had just apologized to the governor and said it was all a mistake? Now look at us! Crucified naked before a howling mob! Jeered and taunted by the Ruffians in the lower stalls, ridiculed and mocked by the better classes in the upper stands. Oh, don't look to the sky like that, Rufina! Our God is not going to swoop down and get us out of here! They will torture us all day, much to the delight of the crowd. The whipping and the raising on these crosses were nothing compared to what they have in store for us. See, they are coming with firebrands now! We would have been far better off to meet a quick, if awful, death by the lions.

PARASCEVA OF IKONIUM CRUCIFIED UPSIDE-DOWN AND TORTURED
Parasceva was the daughter of a Christian couple living in Ikonium (today: Konya (Turkey)) during the reign of Emperor Diocletianus. In 300 an emissary of the emperor came to Ikonium and organized the persecution of the Christians.
Parasceva was among those who refused to make a sacrifice to the pagan gods. She was arrested and cruelly tortured. The executioners suspended her from a cross and raked her with iron nails (or iron combs); they tore her flesh to the bones. Then they cast her into a prison cell to let her die. But her wounds healed miraculously overnight.
On the next day she was again suspended from a cross and tortured with torches. But she remained steadfast and refused to make the required sacrifice. In the end she was beheaded.
These are all really nice pics, and a couple are new to me
How would it feel, ladies, to be upside down and spread like that? Would you attract birds?
I did one like #2 myself in 2013, which fits quite well here
Little girls, including this one, seem to have a fascination with hanging upside down,
perhaps it goes back to when we lived in trees (but boys don't seem to do it)
It would be a specially cruel way to expose a girl, especially with legs wide
as in Michele's arena scene. Obviously I'd be exposed to the attentions of my Torturers,
the standard hooks and burning torches, as described, and I could be flogged
where it would hurt lots, and, yes, birds would soon take an interest -
not to mention lots of smaller creatures! Although I'd be less able to 'dance' and struggle,
and would probably get a dreadful headache, I guess I'd survive quite a long time,
as my legs are strong, and hanging by them would place less strain on my heart
and lungs than hanging by my arms.

I think, that make hard work for the heart. The leg venes have flow control valves which not work in other direction.
More blood in head and to little in feet and legs after a time.

Yes, that is right, the excess bloodflow to the head will cause damage everywhere. The brain and the eyes (blindness!) are the most vulnarable. Therefore it is advised to limit hanging upside down in BDSM to 10-15 minutes maximum.

Like this. The expression of pain and wanting to live. I must be a bad person.

Torture in the Roman Arena. (Artwork by Zerosen)
Was she a captured runaway slave, the daughter/wife of a dishonest merchant, one of the new sect of Christians, etc…
Each were good enough reasons for the Empire to provide her as entertainment as she was slowly tortured to death under the whip for the mobs amusement.
All that was required of a successful executioner was that her death be as prolonged and horrific as possible. At least until the crowd grew bored and tired of the spectacle. The more she screamed in agony and suffered and the more the sadistic the show, the more appreciative the audience would be.
With every stroke of the whip, his coffers only increased as the crowd threw coins in appreciation.

SLAVE ELEUTERIA CRUCIFIED AND CLUBBED TO DEATH
Eleuteria was a young pretty slave living in Puteoli, in Campania Felix, Italy. Her master, Junius Lucullus, an old merchant, treated her gently and gave her what she needed, so she was satisfied of her life.
On day, when she was going back home from the thermae, Porfirius, a free man, kidnapped her and tried to rape her. She fought with all her strength and finally stabbed Porfirius with his own knife, then she tried to escape from the town, but was soon arrested
She was judged guilty for killing a Roman citizen and was condemned to die in the arena.
The following day she was publicly stripped, nailed to a cross and cruelly clubbed until she died.
Just no justice in this world for women, especially slave girls

I really like cabal23 artwork. The animals are very realistic including having the lionesses doing the hunting! I love the girls starting with scanty loinclothes which thay lose quickly.
