Reading time: 5 minutes

Australia, Indonesia and Confrontation

Such tales not only served as a warning for future generations, they also provided a backstory for some of Romeā€™s cruellest punishments.Ā TarpeiaĀ is one of many legendary figures who appear inĀ Livyā€™sĀ History from the Foundation of the City; regardless of whether she was a real person, it became established practice to throw traitors from the ā€œTarpeian Rockā€.
