DIONYSIA OF TUNIS SCOURGED IN THE ARENA
Dionysia was a Christian widow who lived in or near Tunis, North Africa. In 484 she and her sister Dativa fell victims to the persecution of the Vandal king Huneric, who was a Christian, too, but of the Arian denomination.
According to the legend Dionysia, Dativa, and other women were tied naked to columns and cruelly scourged. Later the women were burned.

MARCIANA OF MAURETANIA GIVEN TO WILD BEASTS
Marciana was the daughter of a wealthy Mauretanian family, but she left her hometown and all her wealth and preferred to live a simple and chaste life in another town. It is said, however, that she stood up against the superstition of the pagans and once shattered a sculpture of the pagan goddess Diana. For this sacrilege she was sent into the arena “ad bestias” in 303. According to the legend, the lion that was sent against her did not harm her, but only licked her feet. Then a bull was driven against her and injured her. Only the third animal, a leopard, managed to kill her.

GUERE CRUCIFIED AS A CHRISTIAN REBEL
Aubet , Cubet and Guere are popular saints in South Germany and the alpine regions of Europe; they are often referred to as “3 holy virgins”.
They got separated from Ursula's group when they crossed the Alps, and had to flee from pagan marauders (Avars, Huns) to a remote mountain village, where they found shelter and provided medical and spiritual service to the villagers.
On their flight to the village or perhaps at a later time Guere was captured by the pagans and crucified in mockery of her faith.

I don't know any Tarbula, but...
...Tarbula, Tarbule, Tarba or Tarbo was the sister of the martyred Persian bishop St Simeon. Shortly after this martyrdom, she was accused of witchcraft which caused the illness of the queen, wife of King Sapor. She and her sister, Christians, were imprisoned; she was very beautiful and refused the advances made by the judges to marry her in exchange for their freedom. They were martyred for their refusal to worship the sun and sawed in two.

The easiest and fastest way to saw a person in half is as it appears in the drawings above, however, throughout history it seems that it has been applied in a different way by sawing the person lengthwise.
In some ancient representations it appears how the victim begins to be sawed through the skull but I imagine that this would be difficult for the executioners and would also kill the victim as soon as the saw cut through the brain for the first time. That is why it is more credible that the victim began to be sawed from the crotch and ended at the head, since that would prolong the victim's suffering and fulfill the function of any good exemplary execution: entertain the people and discourage future criminals.
This representation is also not to be very realistic as it would be very uncomfortable for the executioners.
The correct form of the saw torture would be to hang the victim upside down and saw him little by little from the crotch with a huge lumberjack saw.
Even this form with the arms and legs open would be easier for the executors and more cruel for the victim since being upside down the brain would remain blooded and the victim would be conscious until the saw sawed through the entire belly and reached the sternum.
This way of applying the torture would ensure an entertaining and certainly cruel show.

Once the saw reached the bifurcation of the aorta unconsciousness and death would follow within a few seconds but there would be an almighty amount of blood spraying everywhere...
She appears to be saying “Holy Shit!”?
I would be too.
