Yesterday three men were sentenced to hang on their crosses. The wife of the emperor wanted to visit our town and the praetor decided to make an ornament at the city gate for this holiday of the naked bodies of condemned criminals. I found this idea very wise and funny. But something went wrong and the main person to be crucified - the robbers' chief Athanius - unexpectedly died before the ceremony begun. There were no other men in prison this day but only two females: me and my pal. We were arrested two days ago because we were thought to be responsible for the issuing of false rumors about the empress visit. Of course we were not, as the interrogation confirmed, and the praetor decided to free us today. The soldiers came for us at the sunrise to lead us out of the prison gate. But instead of setting us free from the shackles they begun watching us carefully and finally the commanding officer said, pointing at me with his finger, "This boobs are pretty big, she will do better." I didn't undertand him and I thought it was rather rude but soon I realised that they wanted me to do something for them at the city gate - maybe sing or dance at the empress arrival, I thought. They knew I could dance and sing very well! So they set us free and they led me to the gate where all the patricians waited for the empress. I noticed many of my friends too, standing at the opposite side, and my brother and sister with her husband. The men condemned to death were just nailed to the crosses, they were nude with their weenies exposed, so I started to laugh at them because they were so funny and looked dumb with their weenies hanging. I noticed of course that the cross in the middle was empty. I was curious and I asked the officer what they were going to do with the lacking criminal, but he told me to prepare myself to the belly dance so I took off my dress and now I was wearing only a pearl and silver brocaded loincloth so for the moment I covered nipples of my naked breasts with palms, and in the same moment I was punched in face twice and the soldiers grabbed my hands from behind and the officer untied my loincloth leaving me naked, and then they forced me to lie on the ground and I lied down crying with pain and shame, but before I could realize what they were going to do, sharp spikes pierced my wrists. I was totally shocked with an unexpected, horrid pain, and I started to scream loudly and to uncontrollably pissing myself but they didn't even wait till I finished and I felt I was lifted to the top of the stipes still peeing and just after I finished they hammered my feet together. "I am innocent, why do you want to kill me!?", I yelled, and the officer answered me "Yes, you are. So, you will die innocent!", and laughed and then I noticed that everyone were extremely curious and begun to talk about me and to show me to one another with their fingers and commenting my feminine rounds. Hearing their rude words and laughter - although I was dying with pain - I realized once again that I was naked and I begun to weep and sob, and I was weeping for a long time so I didn't notice that the empress' procession arrived and that she halted the procession and now she was standing with her maids and attendants looking at us and especially at me and I felt I was dying with the utmost shame, and she asked the officer about something but I overheard the question and his answer, but then she turned her head and shouted loudly to her cortage: "See and remember how the Rome punishes the criminals!" and then I tried to tell her, still sobing, "I am not a criminal, your highness, please, have mercy on me!", and she heard me and ordered the officer to punish my impudence and he got closer to me and smited my face with his sword's head, nearly breaking my jaw. Stunned with this new pain I didn't notice that it was only a prelude to the really monstrous punishment because they begun to put some heavy packages under my feet and just after half a minute more when I saw the flames shooting around me and I felt my legs and buttocks and vulva and belly were burning I realized they wanted to burn me alive! I was writhing and crying and shouting and I heard them laughing at me and it was torment unbearable and it lasted for a long, long time of the most painful torture I ever experienced and finally I felt that my legs gave way and they could hold me no longer and I slipped down to the roaring flames and I felt that my ass and my genitals are being roasted and my breasts and face scorched and I am no longer a woman but an enormous burning pile of pain, and when all my body turned into the boiling, bubbling and smoking unrecognizable mass of roasted, blackened, stinking meat in a shape of a woman, according to the empress' wish, I lost conciousness for the last time in my life.
