Holy fuck, what is this from?

It's an old execution method, but they used molten lead or gold for it.

I'd like to know more. Do you know what it's called?

[-] squaresinger@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I do not, but this guy here was apparently the first one who was executed by this method: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manius_Aquillius_(consul_101_BC)#Mithridates_and_death
