I've rarely seen one as vivid and - for me - erotic as that one!

View attachment 828655
Maura, is a Christian martyr of the third century and is honored in Egypt and the Middle East. She was a Christian from Upper Egypt married to a deacon called Timothy. When Diocletianus came to power and wanted to erase any trace of Christianity, the governor Urban invited Timothy and his wife to embrace paganism. They refused with courage, were crucified and died from slow death around 283. It is also supposed that this martyrdom took place under Decius.

Can't track it down, but Googling led me to this interesting blogThis 13th century Italian fresco of the holy martyrs Timothy and Maura is the only known depiction of a male erection in medieval art, he lied.
By which I mean does anybody know who's responsible for this thing?
An example of Barbed wit ?.... and the crowd called out for Maur...
Not a bad little find at that.
Very good crowd scene, and an interesting spectacle in the marketplace. Lots of people out to see this one. Pity to spoil a nice body like that.Something older.
Something older.
especially cruel way of burning to death - not all at once, but bit by bit,
Sure. Much slower agonizing death than stake. Not just vulnerable parts, all parts too, easy with the spead position...especially cruel way of burning to death - not all at once, but bit by bit,
applying the hot iron to sensitive parts - it could take hours,
when each of her most vulnerable parts has been branded,
she'll stay there on the scaffold, dying slowly in agony through the night ...
Could be risky! The crowd is quiet, that is ominous!
