NSFW-Did the Romans Use Rape Torture Wooden Board Beds esp in Roman Legion Camps? - Wrangler29 - 09-10-2022
This scene from Alex Kingston's Role As Boudicca in an old British movie aired on iTV channel from the 2000s explains it all.
NSFW its extremely brutal so be prepped if you choose to watch it.

I had chills just typing it and no readily available image on Google Search of the Bed Device that was used from the movie is available. So that horrifying scene is best as it shows as I couldn't type a description of the whole scene and almost vomited as I was typing.
That said did horrific devices like this actually exist irl? Did the Roman Legions actually employed it as stock equipment in their camp as part of SOP?

Can one of the admins please remove this post? It has a link to an unsavoury site.

It’s not against the rules per se, as it’s a topical question, but I agree on the site, so I modified the link. I think it’s safe to say that’s a movie device. What we know about rape in the roman military has to be puzzled together from bits in various sources. We had an article about it in AW XV.2: https://www.karwansaraypublishers.com/search?q=aw+xv.2

Thanks, Jasper. I am not sure what the age-range is here on RAT for posters but that link shouldn't have been added. Don't want to sound prurient but better to be safe than sorry!
