A grim and grisly tale of Roman Justice. A Judean village runs afoul of Roman rule. The tenth legion responds with murder, rape, and general mayhem. The ringleaders and their surviving family members are crucified and those few villagers unfortunate enough to survive become the fodder for games in the arena. |

Funny enough, the opening paragraphs bear a lot of resemblance with what Julius Caesar wrote in his memoirs about the retribution campaign in Belgica Prima that almost completely wiped out the 7 tribes on the territory of what now is known as Belgium.
The retribution followed the slaughter of an entire Legion of the Roman army, by a (big) handful of Belgian Gaelic warriors under the leadereship of Ambiorix.
The paragraph in Caesar's memoirs ends with the line "of all the tribes of the Gauls, the Belgians are the bravest"...
Just wanted to add this little anecdote.
Tremendous story, by the way.
Oh, just a reminder that Julius Caesar was never made emperor and that the Romans used Latin only as a written language but never spoke it. They spoke an older form of Italian.

I must appreciate the historical content. Superb job with that. Your story made me extremely grateful to only be marginally familiar, as opposed to having first-hand knowledge, with such activities. Stunning. (9/10)

- True, the story could hardly be called erotic. It certainly gives you reason to be glad you to be living in the twenty-first century. I'm sure we're much more civil these days.

Extremely accurate in historic detail. The author has captured the mindset of Imperial Rome, which caused the Roman historian Livy to remark, "we are in love with death, both individual and collective." I do hope the author takes us to the arena for the demise of the rest of the village in what could be very creative means. The Centurion's account of not just Roman cruelty, but of the entertainment value which even conquered people enjoyed, is well told. One reads with awe of "Roman carnival of pain" That didn't stop even after Christianity was recognized by Constantine. Optimo est! (10/10)

Beautiful. Marvelously accurate; while there's no historical evidence for the use of rape prior to crucifixion, it certainly wouldn't be outside of Roman practice, especially in the Imperial period.
As for destroying the village, that WAS Roman practice in such instances.
I also want to complement you on the understated sexuality of the piece. Much less in-your-face then other pieces here, and the more effective for it. (8/10)
