If given a choice, that's one I'd choose since it said that it rarely resulted in death. The rest of them are designed to kill and torture more than that one. Seems like you could eventually heal from that one.

I saw a movie that used the Brazen Bull. I forget which one.

At the torture museum in Rothenburg they have some torture devices that you'd never imagine. Some seemed more efficient than others.

Nothing compares to scaphism:
Per Wiki, a Persian soldier named Mithridates was put to death that way:
quote:
"[The king] decreed that Mithridates should be put to death in boats; which execution is after the following manner: Taking two boats framed exactly to fit and answer each other, they lay down in one of them the malefactor that suffers, upon his back; then, covering it with the other, and so setting them together that the head, hands, and feet of him are left outside, and the rest of his body lies shut up within, they offer him food, and if he refuse to eat it, they force him to do it by pricking his eyes; then, after he has eaten, they drench him with a mixture of milk and honey, pouring it not only into his mouth, but all over his face. They then keep his face continually turned towards the sun; and it becomes completely covered up and hidden by the multitude of flies that settle on it. And as within the boats he does what those that eat and drink must needs do, creeping things and vermin spring out of the corruption and rottenness of the excrement, and these entering into the bowels of him, his body is consumed. When the man is manifestly dead, the uppermost boat being taken off, they find his flesh devoured, and swarms of such noisome creatures preying upon and, as it were, growing to his inwards. In this way Mithridates, after suffering for seventeen days, at last expired."
—Plutarch, Life of Artaxerxes[3
Seventeen fricking days?

Prolly in Immortals (from 2011):
ETA: That was without looking it up.

There is a torture museum in Prague, CZ which is pretty awesome. It's near the City Centre and has some of the older Eastern European torture devices on display.
