- Authors
Espinosa Ardila, Miguel Camilo
- Abstract
In Rome, during 133 B.C., the legislative activity of the tribune of the plebs Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus caused strong tensions that ended in his and his follower's execution, using tormenting beatings to death. In order to explain these punishments, the fustigations, beatings, and flagellations are studied through the different behaviors that were punished, revealing lay, vengeful and expiatory functions. This use in 133 B.C. is explained by the expiatory character, taking into a consideration that the Lex Sempronia de magistratus M. Octavio abrogando constituted an attack against the sacrosanctitas tribunicia of Marcus Octavius. In consequence, the torture that was used evidence that Tiberio Sempronio Graco and his supporters were considered traitors by their opponents, dying with an ordeal that would expiate the evil committed, although their behaviors were not prosecuted criminally.
