Terrible Capital punishment by Boiling To Death
Terrible Capital punishment by Boiling To Death. Boiling to death was a surprisingly very common method of execution in Ancient Europe, Asia and Africa. There are accounts of people being boiled to death by Romans including in the bible where John the disciple of Jesus was boiled in oil. The victim would be put in a pot and be boiled either in oil, tallow, wax, molten lead or water until they died. It was one of the most painful ways to die but it was preferred by the states because it was cheap and always effective. In England, during the reign of Henry VIII, a royal order was passed that declared boiling to death as the official punishment for poisoning. Emperor Nero of Rome was also a big fan of this type of execution. We hope that you have enjoyed reading our blog on the world history and facts.
