"Our priests and Priestesses were crucified, their bodies hung on the tree, as the Old Roman expression goes, to die slowly, and to rot, for all to see."(p.62)
Rome was once called the Mother of Earth. Their rules and policies were applied to other nations as well as its own, they had a lot of control over many countries. They came up with the Latin language which is no longer used but transformed and used in many other languages. During the old days, issues were handled much differently than it does today. During the Roman empire, many people were killed and for very absurd reasons. Of course morals and actions were very important back then, when women weren't aloud to go and do as they please compared to men and were seen as the typical wife that stayed at home and raised the children. In the quote above, they explain how they used to execute people at that time, and they would leave them hung up dead, rotting for everyone to see so that they would learn from their lessons and not make the same mistake. I chose this picture because it was a massacre that occurred in Rome and killed many people, the on going wars that never seem to be ending.
