It was actually Romans who introduced capital punishment into europe. They weren’t concerned with internal relations only relations between groups, protection of trade, and the cheapest way of insuring order.

@TempletonViktor @SiliconEdge @SamuelWhittemo4 Actually, there were only two crimes of capital punishment under our european law: cowardice in battle and adultery. Everything else required restitution only – to keep the peace. So “Sacrifice” was the excuse they used to kill off ‘troublemakers’ without violating The Law.
