Contributed by John Bright on Mar 10, 2025 (message contributor)
Roman short whip, also called a flagrum. It was made of two or three leather (ox-hide) thongs or ropes connected to a handle. The leather thongs were knotted with several small pieces of metal, usually zinc and iron, attached at various intervals. Scourging would quickly remove the skin. According to history, the punishment of a slave was particularly violent and often ended in death. https://bible-history.com/past/flagrum
