Subject: The Roman "flagrum" |
Bible Note: Greetings again, Thale! That is some interesting information that you have added here! Thank you, and I encourage you to write more posts! :-) As for the word "flagrum", I agree: the word is not in the Bible itself. But we, of course, would not expect nor find it in any way 'uplifting' for the writers of the Gospels to pour such a degree of attention into the instruments of abuse that were used to inflict pain on the One to whom we owe our very souls! Praise the Lord, and may He be forever praised! Your Brother in Christ, Makarios |
