Tarpeian Rock

The torture of Tarpeia. Roman Republican coinage (denarius), 89 BC.

The Tarpeian Rock (/tɑːrˈpiːən/; Latin: Rupes Tarpeia or Saxum Tarpeium, Italian Rupe Tarpea) was a steep cliff of the southern summit of the Capitoline Hill, overlooking the Roman Forum in Ancient Rome. It was used during the Roman Republic as an execution site. Murderers, traitors, perjurors, and larcenous slaves, if convicted by the quaestores parricidii, were flung from the cliff to their deaths. The cliff was about 25 meters (80 ft) tall. There seems to be a belief that similar punishments were inflicted on the disabled and mentally ill but there are no reliable sources for that.
