Roman Slave Owner

Please let me finish my words, Admiral Guta.

Saiyanus said angrily.

Agreed, please keep quiet, Admiral Guta, and let Saiyanus administrator finish speaking.

Capo frowned.

Yes, honorable consul.

Guta said.

On the other side, the defendant's defense lawyer had a wry smile on his face. He didn't start fighting with the plaintiff, but the defendant started to fight internally. What should he do?

So Saiyanus began his statement of innocence. Now that Guta had pleaded guilty, all the dirty water had to be poured on him.

Of course, these ancient towers were flatly denied, and then the plaintiff's fight began, but Li Wei and Serabio relaxed.

The citizens of Capua watched a free show. No, they actually made money. Li Wei promised to add an additional subsidy of 20 dinars to each person this month, not only for this Centuria Conference, but also There is the toil of traveling to Rome.

Of course, Scipio will bear part of the hard work of going to Rome.

Looking at Saiyanus and Guta, who were arguing like clowns and blushing, Kabo felt a little pity.

Don't they know that everything they do is in vain?

No matter how they behave, they will surely die.

Olus, do you have anything to say?

At this time, Capo said to Olus who had been silent.

Since Oulus was also involved, he was called to testify.

Olus did not speak immediately, but gave his father a quiet look, and Guta gave him an encouraging look.

Aulus closed his eyes in pain, and finally said slowly: On the 5th two months ago, Saiyanus did come to my house, but I don't know what they talked about. That day...

Everyone exclaimed, this is to send their father to the cross with their own hands.

It's really a big drama in life, which fully satisfies the gossip mentality of the people who eat melons, and many people feel that this trip is worthwhile.

There was a trace of relief and regret in Guta's eyes, while Aulus' face was full of guilt.

Fake! It's all fake! It's their collusion!

Saiyanus cursed angrily, and of course he denied Aulus's accusation.

However, all of this is meaningless. It is the citizens of Capua who are present, or Li Wei behind them, who really decides their life and death.

The entire debate lasted for two hours, culminating in a voting period.

Capua citizens, it's time for you to vote. Their life and death will be judged by you. This will be related to the life and death of the two nobles. I hope you can cast your votes carefully.

Capo said blankly.

There was an uproar immediately below. The Centuria meeting was a centurion meeting, so voting was also done in centurion units.

After deliberation, the young infantry of the first class, Senduria, voted first, and the last young man announced the result loudly on behalf of Senduria.

First Infantry Centuria found Capua administrator Seianus guilty and sentenced him to death. Admiral Guta of Campania was found guilty and sentenced him to death.

Although many people had already guessed the result, it still caused a commotion when it happened.

These are the two giants of Capua's military and government. It can be said that the two people with the highest status in Capua are really incredible.

Li Wei was expressionless. Sometimes in order to defend his property, many things had to be done.

At this time, a rich middle-aged man stood up and said loudly: The first cavalryman Centuria found Capua administrator Saiyanus guilty and sentenced him to death. Admiral Guta of Campania was convicted, sentenced him to death.

This result was exactly the same as that of the first soldier Senduria. As each Senduria announced their results, Saiyanus was ashamed, and he was really dead.

When all the Centurias had announced their results, the tellers quickly began counting the results.

In fact, without statistics, the results are already obvious.

With the exception of a few Centurias, the results were almost identical.

The voting results have been released. A total of 189 Centurias found Capua administrator Saiyanus guilty, and 184 of them sentenced him to death. I officially announce that Saiyanus is guilty and sentenced him to death.

Hearing this, everyone let out a burst of exclamation. This is really a historic moment.

Capo finally announced the results of the vote. A total of 190 centurias found the Campania admiral Guta guilty, and 178 centurias sentenced him to death. I declare his guilt and sentence him to death.

The atmosphere in the square was particularly solemn, only Kapo's voice echoed.

People looked at Li Wei with awe, and used the lives of the administrator of Capua and the admiral of Campania to pave their way to the king, which was extremely cruel.

From now on, Li Wei may overwhelm the sky in Capua.

After the charges have been announced, it is the execution.

I declare that in accordance with the Twelve Tables Law, Saiyanus, Guta...all will be crucified and flogged to death.

Capo said loudly.

The punishment in ancient Rome was extremely cruel. In ancient times, there was only one punishment in ancient Rome, and that was the death penalty.

Rely on the death penalty to physically eliminate the criminal because he did not obey the order of this society.

However, there is something sacred about the method of executing a criminal. During the execution, the prisoner's hands were tied behind his back, chained to a wooden stake, stripped naked and tortured, then laid flat on the ground, and his head was chopped off with an axe. It is exactly the same as slaughtering and sacrificing animals, just like offering sacrifices to gods.

The Romans had an inherent thinking that executing a person was not enough to punish him, he must be tortured before execution, the prisoner was tortured to experience death in advance, and torture was the preparatory procedure for the death penalty stipulated by the law. Only in this way can other people be prevented from committing crimes again.

Caesar also agreed with this point of view. He believed that the death penalty was not a punishment, and the real punishment should be to torture him first.

There are many executions in Rome, such as crucifixion, which is the most common and oldest way in Rome.

The crucifixion mentioned here is not just nailed to the cross, but nailed to the cross and whipped to death.

Many people cannot suffer this kind of torture in full view, and death is a relief.

There are many other things, such as arsonists who are burned to death, murderers, especially those who kill relatives, must first beat the prisoner, and then put them into a leather bag with a snake, a rooster, a dog or a monkey, After sewing, sink into the river or sea.

Cicero, the father of lawyers, also highly praised this method of executing the murderer, thinking that it had excellent wisdom.
