Image description

Damnatio ad bestias (Latin for "condemnation to beasts") was a form of capital punishment in which the condemned were maimed on the circus arena or thrown to a cage with wild animals, often lions. It was brought to ancient Rome around the 2nd century BC. From the 1st to 3rd centuries AD, this penalty was mainly applied to the worst criminals, slaves and early Christians.
