A brief warning to you
- A brief intersection from the makers-
WHEN CRIMES WERE COMMITED IN ANCIENT
ROME, THERE WERE BRUTAL PUNISHMENTS AND
FATAL CONSEQUENCES. AS YOU FOLLOW US INTO
THE WORLD OF CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, BE
SURE TO KEEP YOUR EYES PERCHED AND DO NOT
VOMIT AT THE SHEER HORRIBLE—NESS OF THE
GHASTLY PUNSHMENTS. ALSO, STAY ENTERTAINED
WITH OUR TWO LITTLE ROMANS WHO BRAVELY
VOLUNTEERED TO JOIN US IN THIS POWERPOINT.
NOW, AS THEY ALL SAY, TIME IS TICKING SO LET’S
BEGIN … ENJOY!
BOORING!
HOW DARE YOU CRITISIZE
THE AUTHORS!!!
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
Punishments then in Ancient Rome were much
harsher than it is now.
Har! Har!
Types of punishments include :
• Beheading,
• strangling
•Throwing a prisoner from the Tarpeian rock, into a river
and into a prison called Robur ,
•Crucifixion
•Burying a person alive
•Banishment
Stop there! You crook!
SLAVES
 had no rights at all
Used as ‘tools’ for the citizens of Rome.
Common punishment = lashing.
When slave were being beaten, a weight was tied to their feet.
Another source of punishment used was forcing the slave to
carry a piece of wood around wherever they went. This was
called Furca.
YOU CAN’T CATCH ME!!!
GRRR…
FORGERY
A death sentence was not given for this offence (except slaves) but free people guilty of
this crime were subjected to banishment. This deprived them of their property and
privileges.
The Tarpeian Rock
People who committed patricide were blindfolded and thrown into a river
from the Tarpeian rock. The were also put in prison.
Crucifixion
The victim was tied or nailed, above the wrist and feet, to a cross or pole. When nailed,
there was a massive strain put on the wrists, arms and shoulders often resulting in a
dislocation of the shoulder and elbow joints. The rib cage was constrained in a fixed
position, which made it extremely difficult to exhale, and impossible to take a full breath.
The Romans also whipped their victims using a whip for scourging called a flagrum, which
consisted of small pieces of bone and metal attached to a number of leather strands.

CLOSER
‘puff’ ‘pant’ ‘groan’
CRIM
E
CRIME IN ANCIENT ROME INCLUDED FORGERY, TREASON,
PATRICIDE AND STEALING. VANDALS AND THIEFS WERE COMMON
THEN.
Patrols were introduced in 6 A.D. by Augustus
-5000 soldier to stop riots
-7000 vigils to patrol the night and put out fires
- 9000 praetorian guard to protect the emperor.
Yargh!
A firework in the shape
of a question mark?
DID YOU KNOW!?
Treason is betraying
your country. Patricide is
killing your own father.
These were one of the
worst offences you
could commit.
