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.
