Gay on gay crime???

For Romans, few crimes were as unforgivable as killing one’s own parent. Parricide violated not only the law, but the natural order Rome believed held society together. The punishment (called "Poena cullei") reflected that belief.
The condemned was sewn into a leather sack along with animals often a dog, a snake, a rooster, and a monkey then thrown into a river. Deprived of light, air, and escape, death came in terror and chaos.
This punishment was heavy with symbolism. By sealing the criminal away from the world of the living, Rome declared them unworthy of earth, water, or even burial. It was justice meant to erase both body and honor.
