A Roman implement for severe bodily punishment….It consisted of a handle,

which several cords or leather thongs were
affixed
, which were weighted with jagged
pieces
of bone or metal,
to
make the blow more painful or effective….The victim was
tied
to a post [or suspended in air
]…. In
the tense position of the body,
the
effect can easily be imagined.”
