Does anone know or have any pictures of the Roman whip that has "claws" on it.

I remember seeing it on the histroy channel where they whipped a piece of beef to show the lethality of it.

Rusty has a replica on the Soul of the Warrior site. He'd have to be the one to describe the historicity of it, though.

Yes, except with nail like claws, pretty excruciating, even just to watch. Confusedhock:
