4、Poena Cullei
（溺毙）
The Romans had laws for everything, many of which have been adopted by Western civilization into their own judicial systems. However, capital punishment was quite prevalent in ancient Rome, being used for a number of crimes that we would simply jail someone for today. Poena cullei was a special type of capital punishment, one which was reserved for a particular crime: parricide, or murder of a member of one’s family.
罗马有很多法规，现在有一部分曾被西方司法系统所采用。然而，死罚在过罗马非常流行，被应用在很多我们现在在最多判个监禁的犯罪上。溺毙（沉水刑）是一种非常特殊的死刑，专门惩罚一些特殊的犯罪，如：杀害双亲罪、活着谋杀亲属罪。
Once convicted, the murderer would have his face covered with a wolf’s skinand sandals were placed on his feet (presumably to keep him from defiling the air or the ground). He would now wait in prison until a sack was made for him. Once it was ready, a dog, monkey, snake, and rooster were placed in the sack, along with the murderer, and the sack was thrown into a river or the ocean.
一旦定罪，人们就会用狼皮把凶手的脸蒙起来，然后在他的脚上穿上凉鞋（据说这样可以不让罪犯亵渎徒土地或者空气）。他将呆在监牢里，直到人们用麻袋把他装起来。但这些准备工作做好了后，人们还会在麻袋里放一只狗，一只猴子，一条蛇和一只公鸡，然后把装着罪犯的麻袋扔进河里活着海里。
