Crossing the Rubicon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_Rubicon

Quote:
Julius Caesar's crossing the Rubicon river was an event in 49 BC that precipitated the Roman Civil War, which ultimately led to Caesar becoming dictator for life and the rise of the imperial era of Rome. ..............

Today, the phrase "crossing the Rubicon" is an idiom that means to pass a point of no return.

Gallic Empire
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallic_Empire

Quote:
The Gallic Empire (Latin: Imperium Galliarum)[note 1] or the Gallic Roman Empire are names used in modern historiography for a breakaway part of the Roman Empire that functioned de facto as a separate state from 260 to 274.[note 2] It originated during the Crisis of the Third Century, when a series of Roman military leaders and aristocrats declared themselves emperors and took control of Gaul and adjacent provinces without attempting to conquer Italy or otherwise seize the central Roman administrative apparatus.[7]

It was established by Postumus in 260 in the wake of barbarian invasions and instability in Rome..............
Postumus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postumus

Quote:
Marcus Cassianius Latinius Postumus[3] was a Roman commander of Batavian origin who ruled as Emperor in the West. The Roman army in Gaul threw off its allegiance to Gallienus around the year 260,[note 1] and Postumus assumed the title and powers of Emperor in the provinces of Gaul, Germania, Britannia and Hispania, thereby founding what scholars have dubbed the Gallic Empire. He ruled for the better part of ten years[note 2] before he was murdered by his own troops...................

..................Although Postumus was able to capture Mogontiacum and kill Laelianus within a few months, he was unable to control his own troops, who wished to put Mogontiacum to the sack. When Postumus tried to restrain them, his men turned on him and killed him.[13][40]...........

The Ancient Roman 'Sack Punishment' Will Give You Nightmares
The Ancient Roman 'Sack Punishment' Will Give You Nightmares | HistoryInOrbit.com

Quote:
The sack punishment went through a number of macabre permutations over the course of its popularity. One rendition had the victim sewn into a leather sack that contained a rooster, a dog, a viper and a monkey. The sack was then tossed in a river...................

During the reign of Hadrian, the sack punishment was made optional. There was also the option of being thrown into an arena full of wild animals to be torn apart.

The Victorians’ proximity to death led to post mortem photography and the curious utensils they used to carry it out.

The death rattle is the chilling sound made by an individual very near death
Death rattle sounds death - Strange Sounds

Quote:
Death rattle occurs in 23 to 92% of people who are dying. The cause of death rattle remains unproven but is presumed to be due to an accumulation of secretions in the airways.
