Dude, the Romans were severely fucked-up

This shit makes me want to watch Rome, which I was never opposed to seeing, but never got around to seeing. These motherfuckers were the most depraved sons and daughters of bitches to ever live. No shit.
First of all, there's the whole crucifixion thing. Seriously, think about how incredibly fucked-up this is. You have a prisoner. You flog him within an inch of his life. You make him carry this huge limb through town while people throw shit at him and he's already 3/4 dead. Then you nail him to a tree in such a manner that is designed to prolong the torture as he suffocates to death. Variations included nailing dicks to the tree as well, or hanging them upside down. Fuck, dude, that is really twisted as hell. You don't need Mel Gibson to tell you that ain't a walk in the park unless you're half retarded.
The emperor Caligula fucked his sisters, impregnated at least one, and had people publicly sawed into pieces. The wife of his successor (who ruled in his stead when he was absent) held fuck-off contests with prostitutes and forced men to sell their wives into prostitution and watch them get boned, on penalty of death. Nero was a lightweight; he was just fucking loony and violent as shit and thought he was an actor. Commodus kept a harem of 600 young boys and girls. Elegabalus dressed as a woman and worked as a prostitute ("Hey, isn't that a dick? Oh, sorry, Emperor, I didn't recognize you."), and once crushed a roomful of people with rose petals.
One of the fucked-upedest things I've seen concerns Caligula's rival for the role of emperor, Tiberius. "He had little boys trained as 'minnows' to chase him when he went swimming and to get between his legs and nibble him. He also has babies not weaned from their mother's breast suck at his chest and groin." Fucked-up as it sounds, Caligula was probably the saner choice.
