Pertinax Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 were there any particular sites favoured for that type of exile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favonius Cornelius Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hm...Agrippina was exiled to the island of Pandateria and died of starvation there. Agrippa Postumus was sent to Planasia. Patmos and Lesvos were known isles of exile. I think Tiberius was big on the island exile thing.

Pertinax Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 The latter are of course now favoured holiday destinations for Brittanic natives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Corsica was an early favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favonius Cornelius Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 The latter are of course now favoured holiday destinations for Brittanic natives. Ironic isn't it? But then perhaps the worst exile could be on that island they call Britannia, and Lesvos a vacation in comparison... Just kidding Red Coats I love your country.

Pertinax Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Lesvos would involve less fighting. and-back on topic I notice that as you may be fomenting revolt was I correct in suggesting "damnattae Memoria" (sp) as punishment for a failed uprising (on top of any personal punishment)? Legion iii Augusta suffered this did they not, but were later as a disgraced vexillation able to reform the Legion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecimusCaesar Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I read one method that Caligula used was to inflict thousands of tiny little cuts on his victims and then watch them bleed to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I also believe Napoleon when he himself was exiled to Corsica used it, also know known as the island of exiles, as a rallying point for 1000 disgraced soldiers on the island. My point is Corsica still remained an exile island later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Ive dug out an interesting punishment from early republican Rome,if the matron of a house drank wine ( which at that time was totally forbidden to women) the Paterfamilias could then order that she be starved to death in .

Pertinax Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 actually my continued reading of "at the Roman Table " leads me to suggest that the worst punishment might be a grand dinner including a main course of "barren pigs womb".

Sextus Roscius Posted October 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 actually my continued reading of "at the Roman Table " leads me to suggest that the worst punishment might be a grand dinner including a main course of "barren pigs womb". I now turn my thoughts of patricide as worse punishment, to this repugnant "feast?" if it can be called so. I must agree. "barren pig's womb" yuck!

Lost_Warrior Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 As long as it isn't raw, it's probably not THAT bad...lol theoretically speaking it's no worse than tripe (which alot of people seem to like) or liver (which I happen to love) or fish eggs ::licks her lips:: Alot of the torture methods that have been used throughout history (and I'm sure Romans used them as well) are worse than the actual executions (because you stay alive longer). And they aren't even punishments necessarily, just ways of finding information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Opinion was divided amongst cooks as to which type of womb was more succulent-barren or fertile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
