Pertinax Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 so rumors that he would have to fight against a selection of wild beasts from Numidia were unfounded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurius Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Your method of punishment is not at all Roman. That style of punishment right there belonged to Vlad Drucula(that's right, the real one) whom impaled tens of thousands of his enemies ( inluding innocent men,women, children,..). I think his victims were mostly Ottoman-Turks. "'Tis the season for impaling, Fa-La-La-La-La, La--La--La---Laaa!" Yeah, Vlad hated Turks much like a dog who bites the hand that feeds him. He used Ottoman support to get his position the first time, then turning on them after being deposed by a family member and making an alliance with the King Hungary to regain the throne. He kicked butt during this time in charge, striking hard against the Turks. After 5-6 years he fled back to Hungary after the Ottomans got tired of him and overwhelmed Wallachian forces. The Hungarians didn't like him much either and kept him captive a number of years. His brother Radu ruled for years as a client of the Ottomans and then he died. Vlad managed to get Stephen Bathory's support and marched out from Transylvania with an army to defeat the Turk. He did, but Stephen took the army back home. Left to his own resources, Vlad died in combat with the Ottomans near Bucharest. Fun loving guy, from a fun loving time, in a fun loving part of the world...

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Yes, yes, such a cool guy Vlad was that he dipped bread into his victims blood and squeezed the bread to get the blood instead of eating the bread.
