Ancient Rome was known for its military might, grand architecture, and... unusual punishments! The Romans were experts in keeping order, but their methods were often brutal and bizarre. One of the most shocking punishments was Poena Cullei – the "sack punishment." If someone was convicted of parricide (killing their own parent), they were sewn into a leather sack along with a live dog, snake, monkey, and rooster, and then thrown into a river! Talk about extreme justice!

The Romans also had a form of public execution known as *damnatio ad bestias*, where criminals were thrown into arenas to face wild beasts as punishment. Their punishments were not only meant to deliver justice but to also serve as public spectacles, reminding everyone of the power of Roman law.
