More on scourging and simul justis

More on scourging/flogging:
This ghastly ordeal (flogging) was the standard way of extracting information
from prisoners.    –John Stott

“The scourge (Latin *flagellum*) was a fearful
instrument of torture, consisting of leather thongs, weighted with
rough pieces of metal or bone, and attached to a stout wooden
handle. If a man did not actually die under the scourge (which
frequently happened), he would certainly be crippled for life.”   --FF Bruce
