I think sentence should be "ULTIMUM SUPPLICIUM" and meaning is then "The last (or extreme) punishment".
It's Latin, but if you don't have any knowledge of this language it's for me hard to explain you why your phrasing is slight mispelled (it's missing an "i") and above answers are both wrong. However let's try...!!
I'm sure it's mispelled since in Latin adjective modifying the noun must agree with its case,gender and number and in yr post the adjective 'ultimum' is in the nominative singular neuter while the noun 'supplicum' is the genitive plural masculine of "supplex" (furthermore "supplex" it's not translating "request" but "suppliant,begger" and "supplicum" should be translated as "of the suppliants").
On the contrary "supplicium" is a nominative singular neuter noun, perfectly agreeing with 'ultimum' as above explained.

Previous answers 'last request' would be in Latin
"Ultimum postulatum" or "Ultima postulatio"
