(A note to the reader: The opening of this blog has some minor historical documentation. I ran across it while doing other research, and it captured my attention. Upon further investigation, I found some proof of this practice, and I realized tbe concept had very powerful applications in real life. History records the brutality of the Roman Empire in graphic detail, and there is second hand evidence that the practice mentioned below was actually used. That being said, I hope you learn the life lessons it teaches. Thanks for reading!)
