I am curious if there is ANY evidence remaining, found, suggested by sources etc.....about the types of scourges or whips used by the Romans. A type of whip keeps getting mentioned on the internet or history programs about somerhing called cat of 9 tails.....could be 6 or even 12.

Is there any tduth to this type of whip? Are there depictions, descriptions from the Roman period suggesting what it looked like.


Thanks
