If any person had sung or composed against another person a song such as was causing slander or insult to another....he should be clubbed to death.
If the theft has been done by night, if the owner kills the thief, the thief shall be held to be lawfully killed.
It is unlawful for a thief to be) killed by day....unless he defends himself with a weapon; even though he has come with a weapon, unless he shall use the weapon and fight back, you shall not kill him. And even if he resists, first call out (so that someone may hear and come up).
Treason: he who shall have roused up a public enemy or handed over a citizen to a public enemy must suffer capital punishment
The punishments, attending to the Law of the XII tables (V century b.C.), were really cruel. The Romans used beheading, flogging till death, hanging, drowning, cutting of the limbs, the stake; the vestals guilty of infidelity were buried alive, because shedding their blood wasn't permitted, and their seducer was beaten till death; public enemies, slaves who had stolen something from the master, culprits of false witness were thrown by the Tarpeia cliff; for the slaves, and for those peoples who were not Roman citizens, there was the crucifixion, a penalty particulary long and painful.

One of the most horrible forms of punishment, derived from ancient Roman usages, was burning at the stake ( The crucifixion).
this a one example, you can find the rest by searching the internet. The best search engine is google, try it.

The scene from Braveheart grow to be an define of a guy being drawn and quartered. this is a awful torture yet there are some that are worse in my opinion. The chinese language had a torture observed as "loss of life by potential of 1000 cuts" they'd make small cuts throughout your physique till, after a protracted time and a brilliant form of suffering, you died. American Indian cultures, extraordinarily the Iroquoi and Algonquians, inflicted countless the greater serious torture I easily have ever learn. Captives in conflict would be ritually subjected to working gauntlets repeatedly and then being slowly burned on the stake. in case you proved your bravery by potential of not screaming they'd cut back out your heart and consume it. yet another torture they practiced grow to be to tie a captive as much as a pole and then scrape their dermis off with oyster shells till the captive died from marvel. Any e book on Algonquian Indians would desire to provide you a greater distinctive account. The Spanish Inquisition is likewise a treasure trove of torture concepts. Medieval Europe employed gruesome torture concepts to boot. "Turning the Screws" grow to be whilst a captive grow to be strapped to a chair and screws have been slowly became below their fingernails. Impaling somebody on a pole. in case you have been rather despised the pole's tip would be dulled so as which you would be impaled slower. The Iron Maiden is a classic too. besides the fact which you will think of has already been carried out. in my view the worst torture has have been given to be Michael Bolton!
