Life was brutal back then!

I made the comment because the article says that his famous marytrdom by being roasted on a gridiron was more myth than truth. Just saying that I wouldn't doubt that something like that could have happened. =)

Life was very brutal, and people had different values. The most gruesome executions were always public events. Mind you, in our own time, we have a filmic spectacle of a man eating another man's brains - served up as entertainment.
