Stretching rack torture domination

Description:Uses[ edit ] Constitutio Criminalis Theresiana — the approved methods of torture which could be used by the legal authorities to arrive at the truth. Early use[ edit ] The rack was first used in antiquity and it is unclear exactly from which civilization it originated, though some of the earliest examples are from Greece. The Greeks may have first used the rack as a means of torturing slaves and non-citizens, and later in special cases, as in BC, when it was applied to gain a confession from Herostratus , who was later executed for burning down the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus , one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The next day, after refusing to talk, she was being dragged back to the rack on a chair all of her limbs were dislocated , so she could not stand , but strangled herself on a loop of cord on the back of the chair on the way. In the question of its legality was raised by a proposal in the Privy Council to rack John Felton , the assassin of the Duke of Buckingham.
