In some way, an unforgetable journey, then?Due to the grave mistake the last day of Ann's visit to the capital of Gallia Cisalpina proved to be her last day at all.
Agreed, especially #1.And here are the Platonic ideals
Great drawings! I look forward to the next series!The death of a thief (1 of 4)
She lasted only one day?
Every thing was going fine for the woman. She would die martyred for standing up to Rome... Up to this...The death of a thief (1 of 4)
Flogged for her first stolen piece of cloth, banished from the city for her next theft, Danae came back in disguise and tried to contact with the few old friends of her. Recognized and caught, she wasn't even interrogated nor imprisoned: stripped naked in an instant and nailed to the cross she died the most painful and shameful death.
Apostate is a blood-thristy bastard, isn't he???She lasted only one day?
Lucky lady.
This is why Tree only nails through the tops of feet... the condemned are able to suffer much longer beforeShe wanted to die as soon as possible.

But only the very first MINUTE of her long dying on the cross has passed...
And even that minute felt endless. So many more to come.But only the very first MINUTE of her long dying on the cross has passed...
She must have been very optimistic, thinking there was a gain for her!she more and more doubted if she really was a winner.
Picture 1 shows there is no mercy shown to even a glamorous thief. By the time she is nailed to the cross and raised to suffer her torturous death she is no more a treasure to be had.Lifting up the cross
The old pole was too used and rotten, so the new one was ordered and Beata, as a thief and a murderer, was the first to be hanged on it. She was nailed, by wrists and feet, to the new and complete cross and lifted up together with this simple timber structure. She died a terrible death like the slave, which was exactly the fate she deserved, but I hope she felt at least a small consolation, feeling with the naked skin of her back and buttocks the fresh, ash planks, smelling of resin and wood. Well, okay: maybe its natural surface, rough and full of splinters, was not as comfortable as it looked for us, who witnessed the first few hours of her torment.
