The Brazen Bull or  the Sicilian Bull

A solid piece of brass was cast with a door on the side that could be opened and latched. The victim would be placed inside the bull and a fire set underneath it until the metal became literally yellow as it was heated. The victim would then be slowly roasted to death all while screaming in agonizing pain

Impalement

The victim was forced to sit on a sharp and thick pole. When the pole was then raised upright, the victim was left to slide down the pole with their own weight. It could take the victim 3 days to die using this method.

Lead Sprinkler

Usually filled with molten lead, tar, boiling water or boiling oil, it was used to torture victims by dripping the contents onto their stomach or other body parts like the eyes. Using this device the torturer would proceed to pour molten silver on the victim’s eyes which resulted in agonizing pain and eventual death.

Coffin Torture

Placing the victim inside a metal cage roughly the size of the human body; hence the name while the torturers also forced overweight victims into smaller cages to heighten their discomfort as they hung from a tree or gallows and then, would be left there until the crows came to feed on their remains.
