ROMAN EXCUTION METHODS By: Fastkid


 * Following the Lex Porcia of 199 BC, Roman citizens couldn't be executed. They could be exiled. Non-citizens could still be executed,
 * Crucifiction was the most common method of execution.
 * Other methods of execution included being strangled or having throats cut
 * Noblemen were allowed to simple commit suicide either by their own sword, or by opening their wrists in a warm bath.
