Answer:

The death penalty included being buried alive, impaling and, of course, crucifixion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Romans did not hesitate to torture before putting someone to death. One such punishment was sewing a bound prisoner in a heavy sack with a snake, a rooster, a monkey and a dog, then throwing the sack into the river.
