What shall I say of crucifying him? So guilty an action cannot by any possibility be adequately expressed by any name bad enough for it.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Uncertain if the whip referred to here, is the flagrum shown by you. The same can be said for my coin, that shows a 'whip' (or is it a stick?). I doubt it is a flagrum though. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1105029[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
