FIRMINA OF AMELIA TORTURED WITH FLAMING TORCHES
Firmina is said to have lived in the 3rd century and to have suffered martyrdom during the persecution of Diocletian, but all information about her comes from a vita written not earlier than the 6th century. Later oral tradition has supplemented this with sometimes conflicting detail.
The simplest version of her legend is that she belonged to a family of high status: her father Calpurnius was prefect of the city of Rome (praefectus Urbis). Olympiadis, a high official, attempted to seduce her but was converted by her to the Christian faith, for which he was martyred. She then left her family to devote herself to prayer in seclusion, near the city of Amelia in Umbria, where she suffered martyrdom and was buried.

I love the contrast between the girl's horror and pain and the spectators' cheering, laughing and mocking... enjoying every second of her sufferings.

AGNES OF ROME PUBLICLY SCOURGED IN THE ARENA
Agnes was the daughter of a Roman patrician family. She was very young when, during one of the persecutions in Rome during the 3rd Century, she refused to make the obligatory sacrifice to the emperor. According to one version of the legend she rejected the hand of the son of the city prefect, expressing her wish to maintain her virginity for Christ's sake.
So she was brought to trial. The judge wanted to put Agnes to shame and had her stripped naked in public and savagely scourged. When the authorities realized that Agnes could not be turned away from her faith, they ordered her to be burned alive, but the flames did not touch her. Finally the executioner pierced her throat with a sword.

Well if you'd stop offending people who get out of bed in the morning LOOKING for something to be offended about then that wouldn't happen.
When you cater to the fringe minorities by suppressing the majority you very quickly find your civilization failing.

Julitta of Ikonium crucified and tortured with iron hooks
Julitta (or Ulita) was a Christian widow who lived with her infant son Cyriacus in Ikonium (today: Konya, Turkey). In 304 she was arrested because of her faith. Her child was killed before her eyes (the judge threw him upon the floor), and she was cruelly tortured in public and in the end killed.

PARASCEVA OF IKONIUM PUBLICLY TORTURED
Young Parasceva loved purity and the loftiness of the virginal life, and she took a vow of celibacy. She wanted to devote all her life to God and to enlighten pagans with the light of Christ. Because of her confession of the Orthodox Faith, the pagans in a frenzy seized her and brought her to the city prefect. They demanded that she offer unholy sacrifice to the pagan idols. With a steady heart, and trusting on God, the saint refused this demand. For this she underwent great torments: after stripping her, they nailed her to a cross and tortured her with scourges, hooks and torches. Finally, they threw her into prison, exhausted by the torture and lacerated to the bone. But God did not forsake the holy sufferer, and miraculously healed her wounds. Not heeding this divine miracle, the executioners continued with their torture of Saint Paraskevi, and finally, they cut off her head
