If someone in the Roman Empire got struck by lightning, there really isn’t much they could do about it. This must have sucked for people who watched their friends be struck by lightning as they could not even help those people get a proper burial. If you feel confused why this is, it actually happened because the ancient Romans believed that a lightning strike was delivered by the god Jupiter. Anyone who was struck by lightning must have done something to displease the god. Yup, even deaths were considered to be human sacrifice back then. Make sure to pay tribute to Jupiter or you might be the next victim!

The Punishment For Adulterous Women

It is an extremely unpleasant experience to be cheated on by the person you love, though it has been happening for as long as marriage has been around. The wife could only cry when it happened to her, though the same did not ring true in a reversal of roles. When a woman cheated on her husband, she had to pay a huge price. Sources say that the husband typically locked up the wife and the lover together. The husband then made a public declaration regarding the affair, offering the people in attendance as much detail as possible before they could even get a divorce.
