ZENO & MARCUS

From Etruscan times, right at the beginning of Roman history, the punishment for rape had been public execution.

By the early empire, (the period of Grachus' 'Private Games'), the form of this public execution had been refined so that it was by then an exquisitely horrific process, intended as a potent deterrent to 'oversexed' slaves.

As a result of their contacts with Eastern empires, (such as the Persian and Egyptian), the Romans had come across certain barbaric practices, such as genital mutilation & impaling, which they adopted, and used in their punishment of rapists. As a result, the punishment for rape, by this time, had become not just execution, but a brutal and humiliating torture that lasted for up to a half and hour or maybe longer.

For reasons that will be explained, at any staging of the Public Games there were always more slaves to be executed for rape than for any other crime, and in most cases it was rape perpetrated on boys.

The reason for so many executions for rape lay in the Roman practice of having young boys cared for and educated by slaves.

Slaves, (usually Greek), would dress, wash & bathe the boys in their care.

Other slaves would be used to educate the boys, and still other slaves would be used to train the boys in gymnastics and wrestling.

All these occasions gave the slaves many opportunities for close personal contact with the boys, (bathing, massage gymnastics & wrestling all involved nudity), and on occasions a slave would take advantage of these situations, and sexually abuse a boy.

While this sometimes happened, the more usual scenario was that a boy either got tired of his slave, or had a disagreement with his slave. It was then easy for the boy to accuse the slave of rape, (it was the Roman boy's word against that of the slave), in order to get rid of him.

Of course, if the boy had a real grudge against the slave then he could ask to go to the Games to see the slave executed, and would then had the satisfaction of seeing the slave, (who may had been his teacher or gymnastics instructor), being publicly stripped naked, buggered, anally impaled, completely castrated. At the end of all this torture, the boy could then finally watch his onetime slave being executed.

A slave who had been accused of raping a Roman citizen was usually unaware of the gruesome details of the fate that awaited him when his time came to be executed, (slaves were rarely allowed to attend the Private Games), as the magistrate hearing the evidence against him would simply pass a sentence of execution. For the Romans, however, 'the punishment had to fit the crime', and slaves found guilty of buggering a Roman citizen were publicly put to death in the arena in a very specific manner.

The execution for rape consisted of being stripped naked, skewered through the anus with a stake, and then being completely emasculated, (penis and both testicles), and left to scream and squirm in agony for a while, before finally being 'finished-off'.

Some of the slaves had heard rumours that those executed for rape were emasculated first, but in most cases they didn't realize that being castrated didn't just mean having their testicles torn off or cut off, but meant 'total castration', which also called for them to had their penis lopped off, which was looked on as the means by which they had committed their offence.

In addition, before being tortured and mutilated, the unfortunate slaves would also be raped in public, in the arena, either by other convicted slaves, or by their executioners, and in many cases would also had to publicly rape other slaves, to demonstrate their crime, before being tortured and put to death.

If, after being anally impaled and fully castrated, the unfortunate slave was still alive at the end of the period reserved for public executions, which was commonly the case, he would then be 'finished-off' by having his throat cut, or being garrotted, or being beheaded.

ZENO & MARCUS

The case of Zeno & Marcus was a typical example of what sometimes happened in a Roman household.

Zeno & Marcus were two slaves responsible for the care of Julius, the eldest son of Sennex, the master of the house.

Zeno was an older, Greek slave who was responsible for educating the boy, teaching him Latin & Greek grammar, rhetoric & philosophy, among other things.

Marcus was Julius' personal body-slave. taking care of the boy's clothes, bathing him, bringing him his food and giving him massages. Marcus would also often practice gymnastics and wrestling with young Marcus.

As Marcus had got into his early teens he had become obsessed with watching the gladiators & wrestlers at Grachus' private Games. Zeno like most Greeks did not approve. More to the point he disliked Julius' habit of going to his rich young friend Varus', villa where the two boys would get some of the youngest villa-slaves to strip naked and stage mock gladiatorial fights & wrestling bouts which would end with sessions of sexual abuse.

In addition, when Julius and his slave, Marcus, practiced wrestling, Julius, after seeing the boy-wrestlers' 'fuck-fights' at the Games, had wanted the fuck Marcus when he won the bout. Marcus, who technically as a slave was obliged to let Marcus do this, had declined and only been prepared to give Marcus oral sex or masturbate him. As a result, Marcus had problems with both slaves and, in his way of thinking, he needed to get rid of them.

The first thing he did was to try and blackmail the slaves by trying to seduce them.

As we had see, this didn't work with young Marcus, but Zeno, old, frustrated and captivated by Julius' beauty, allowed Julius to bugger him, thinking that they would change places, and Zeno would get to bugger the boy. but of course Julius was too clever for that, but was now in a good position to accuse his tutor of rape, as he could now describe the older man's intimate parts with ease.

Now in a unassailable position Julius therefore proceeded to concoct the accusation that Zeno and Marcus had raped him, and he forged a letter, supposedly from Zeno, describing the crime, in order to thoroughly incriminate the two slaves.

Julius, who had seen slaves who had been condemned for rape, stripped, mutilated and killed in the arena, hoped that his accusations would be taken seriously so that he and his friend Varus, who liked a good, gory execution, could enjoy watching his two erstwhile slaves getting what Julius considered to be their 'just deserts' in the arena.

As it happened, despite their protestations of innocence, the magistrate obviously believed Julius, the son of a Roman citizen, rather than two slaves. As a result, poor Zeno and Marcus, having been forced to return their fine clothes to their master, were led through the streets to Grachus' Arena wearing just ragged tunics that barely covered them, that had been given to them in the magistrate's jail.

Julius and Varus then had the satisfaction of sitting back in a comfortable box in Grachus' arena and watching the old, fat, hairy tutor, and the young slim body-slave get publicly tortured and executed.

MARCUS & ZENO AT THE ARENA

On the morning of the execution Zeno & Marcus, who were confined to the city jail, were manacled and led out into the main street. There they were forced to walk, with a guard of three soldiers, through the city streets to Grachus' Private Arena.

Before entering the arena Zeno & Marcus had been stripped of their tattered tunics, and left with just tiny little flaps of torn cloth covering their bulging 'privates'. At the same time the slaves had been forced to drink a concoction of wine laced with aphrodisiacs and stimulants - a concoction which was intended to disinherit them and make them sexually aroused.

The two condemned slave, however, would have to wait some time before it was their turn to appear in the arena. First would come the opening ceremonies, and then the boxers and the wrestlers.

So Zeno and Marcus had to wait in their little cell while the listened to the roar of the crowd as the naked boxers and wrestlers fought and often killed one another on the sunlit sand.

The executions always started at midday. Most of the senators and patricians would go to lunch at this time, as they considered the executions to be demeaning and uninteresting - there was no skill or art in simply torturing and killing a slave.

On the other hand the 'lower order' love a good execution.

ZENO & MARCUS ENTER THE ARENA

When Zeno and Marcus entered the arena there was, predictably, lots of booing and hissing, after all they were viewed as child molesters - not that Julius was really a child.

The arena slaves, big burly men in their late twenties and thirties, dressed in black tunics and boots, were waiting for them.

By this stage both the slaves were beginning to get 'horny', so that when the flaps of cloth were ripped off, to show them off 'bollock-naked' to the crowd, each slave had thick, swollen penis, which was well on the way to becoming fully erect.

Zeno was middle aged and balding. He was beginning to run to fat, with an ample belly. He was very well-hung, and his virility also showed in the covering of dark hair on his legs, forearms, belly and chest. He also had a very thick, black curly 'bush', and a hairy scrotum.

Marcus also had black hair, but the only hair on his body was under his arms and on his groin, where he had a neatly trimmed pubic 'bush'. He was young; about seventeen, and well-muscled and slim.

The crowd were understandably not very impressed with Zeno, but they took to Marcus, as he was young, handsome and very sexy.

BALL-TORTURE

Having been stripped 'bollock-naked', the two terrified slaves were tied to the arena wall and cords were tied to each slave's scrotum.

Stone weights were then attached to the cords, and the slaves were left to squirm as each had their ball-bag stretched.

While they were undergoing this torture, both slaves were questioned by a junior magistrate, with the intention of getting them to finally confess to their crime. (although both slaves had been found guilty and condemned to death, the Romans like to hear the convicted criminal confess before he was executed).

Despite the fact that the stone weights were not really very heavy, both slaves were terrified of having their testicles ripped off, and so, not surprisingly, they both confessed to having raped Julius many times !

DILDO-FUCKING

Having publicly confessed, it was then considered time to have some fun with the obviously panicking slaves.

The Roman crowd like to see condemned slaves being humiliated before they were executed, and the worst kind of humiliation a Roman could imagine was sexual humiliation.

Of course, with two 'horny' naked slaves available, sexual humiliation was very easy for the arena slaves to arrange, and poor Zeno and Marcus were unwittingly to provide this crowd with a lot of amusement.

The unfortunate slaves were first untied and forced to kneel on the sand while an arena slave forced a large, greased wooden dildo into the rectum of each slave. As a result of this treatment, and the aphrodisiacs they had been given earlier, both slaves become obscenely 'aroused', developing a very strong erection.

As the two slaves were now obviously very 'sexed-up', the excited crowd started calling for the two naked criminals to demonstrate their obscene crime by fucking each other !

After Zeno had been given a really massive erection by being dildo-fucked, he was forced to stand, with a huge stiff prick, while Marcus was knelt on the sand and dildo-fucked by the arena slave in order to get him 'hard' as well.

Predictably young Marcus also got a big 'hard-on', and was then told to fuck Zeno.

Zeno protested forcefully, begging Marcus not to bugger him, but in a pathetic interaction that the spectators find very amusing, Marcus explains to Zeno that he had no choice in the matter, but tells his friend that he won't enjoy the fuck.

Zeno therefore, had no option but to kneel naked on the sand with his buttocks raised, while Marcus 'enters' him from the rear. While Marcus fucks Zeno, an arena-slave continues to fuck Marcus with a baton. Of course the harder the arena-slave fucks Marcus the more excited Marcus becomes, and the harder he fucks Zeno.

Marcus had promised Zeno that he wouldn't enjoy the fuck, but it's obvious to all that the young slave really 'got off' on fucking the older man, and ends up having a very noisy orgasm, as he pulls out and squirts his thick boyish seed all over Zeno's hairy, sweaty buttocks.

As soon as Marcus had 'cum', Zeno and Marcus were forced to change places, and then Zeno got the baton up his hairy arse while he buggered young Marcus.

By then Zeno was appallingly 'excited', and seeing young Marcus smooth muscular buttocks presented to him made him even more 'horny'. Zeno, unable to control himself, fucked poor Marcus to within an inch of his life. Zeno, of course, had always 'fancied' Marcus, and now finally, on the last day of his life, he got to fuck the cute, slim, dark-haired boy.

After a long, rough fuck, Zeno finally 'cums', pulling out and collapsing over Marcus as his spunk squirts everywhere !

After Zeno had 'cum' the two slaves were then forced to stand in the centre of the arena. An arena-slave then attached the stone weights, used previously when the two slaves were tortured, to Marcus's scrotum, and then to Zeno's much heavier, and hairier scrotum. Each slave also had his anus skewered with a thick wooden baton, in order to get him 'hard' again.

Each slave; - 'bollock-naked', impaled up his anus, and with a weight dangling from his ball-bag, was then forced to waddle round the arena so that all the spectators could had a good laugh at the condemned slaves obscene, painful and humiliating predicament.

The two unfortunate slaves had by then entered a hell of abject humiliation and intolerable pain. With each faltering step they took the weight swung, pulling even more cruelly on the slave's already horribly stretched scrotum,sending bursts of searing pain up into the slave's groin and belly - and all the time the slaves had to suffer the spectators' ribald, obscene shouts and giggling laughter.

Once the slaves had completed one circuit of the arena they returned to the arena-slaves.

Then while Zeno waited, groaning with what was by then an obscenely large erection, young Marcus was bent over and roughly 'tossed-off' by one of the arena-slaves. Marcus was horribly ambivalent - wanting, on the one hand to 'cum', and then possibly be relieved of his painful 'hard-on'. On the other hand he was appallingly humiliated by responding in public to the young arena-slave's attentions, and eventually squirting his spunk over the arena sand.

As soon as the laughter from the crowd, in response to Marcus's 'spunk-up', died down, Zeno was bent over and given the same treatment.

Zeno, who was definitely the 'horniest' of the two slaves, had a really huge erection, and the crowd enjoy watching his massive tool getting a good 'seeing to' by the young arena-slave. Eventually Zeno started to jerked convulsively. "Oh no ! I'm cumming !", he groaned in embarrassment, and then squirted creamy ropes of hot sticky semen over the sand as the crowd cheered.

IMPALING

At this stage the 'sex-show' was effectively over, and the real torture started.

The arena slaves started and Zeno first, leading him over to a big wooden stake, set in the arena floor. The first meter of the stake was wood, but the to half meter was iron, tipped with a large iron ball. The stake was one of a pair, and Zeno was led over the left hand one.

By this time Zeno knows what the stake was for, and starts trying to struggle and get away from the arena slaves who were holding him.

"Fuck no ! ", Zeno cries, "You're not sitting me on that thing !".

Although he had never seen an impaling, Zeno had heard and read about his form of execution, and had no intention of submitting to it without putting up a fight.

The arena-slaves, with some difficulty, picked up the big, hairy sweaty slave. Despite Zeno's struggles they managed to centre the fat slave's hairy anus over the large iron knob.

Then, slowly, they lowered Zeno.

"Shit NO !", Zeno squealed, "It's too fuckin' big !". The arena slaves, however, ignored him, and almost immediately Zeno's hairy arse-ring started to open over the big, iron knob.

"It's too big for my anus !", Zeno continued to protest uselessly, as the iron ball slowly opened up his anal ring wider and wider.

Finally the widest part of the ball was inside Zeno, and his anus started to close up, and grip on the iron shaft. As it did so, Zeno's erection, which was already very strong, got even stronger. The veins were popping out on his heavily ridged shaft, and his heavy foreskin had pulled right back, exposing his hefty, purple helmet, which gleamed in the sunlight, and as the huge iron shaft slowly disappeared inside him, Zeno's massively stiff prick jerked ever upwards, eventually standing almost vertically.

"Oh shit, my arse-hole !", Zeno groaned, as the big ball filled his rectum, and moved inexorably up into his guts. The spike had completely penetrated his puckered, hairy hole, and poor Zeno let out a pathetic groan.

He was then told by one of the arena-slaves how to prevent himself slipping down onto the spike, and thereby prolong his life - in fact, of course it would only prolong his agony. - "Hold your fuckin' arse-ring real tight, like your trying not to shit - an' don't let it relax, or your finished !"

Zeno tried to take that advice, and for some time he didn't slip down, - but clenching his arse-hole had the effect of making his 'hard-on' even stronger, and completely exhausted him.

Meanwhile young Marcus had missed most of what had happened to Zeno, although he had heard his companion squealing and screaming. This was because Marcus had been strung-up, and was being viciously 'dildo-fucked' by one arena-slave, while another was pulling on the weight attached to Marcus's already badly stretched ball-bag, giving him an even stronger erection. Eventually all the friction against his prostate made young Marcus groan, wriggle and 'cum', and his boy-spunk squirted, this time for the last time ever.

Then it was poor Marcus's turn to be painfully sat on an impaling spike alongside his writhing partner Zeno.

"No ! Not me too !", Marcus blurted out, as he was dragged over to where the two impaling stakes were set in the arena floor.

Moments later he was being lifted up to be sat alongside squirming Zeno.

"Oh fuck no !", Marcus whined, "Not up my fuckin' bum-hole !".

Slowly he too was lowered onto the huge knob of the impaling stake. For, Marcus, however, it was far more painful than for Zeno, as Marcus had a young lad's anus, which was not able to spread itself open so easily, and take the bulk of the large iron ball.

After a lot of squirming and groaning, however, young Marcus finally took the huge knob inside him, grunting repulsively as it was forced up into his rectum.

CASTRATION

Then the arena slaves placed a new slip-knot round the root of Zeno's wrinkled, hairy scrotum, and attached a new, heavier weight to the end of the leather cord

Zeno watched all of this happening, as the big weight was tied to his balls. The arena slave then held the weight, which was tied to Zeno's scrotum with the slip knot, in his hands, between his palms. Zeno looked at the slave, staring, and moaned pitifully "Please...don't....don't do this. Not to my fuckin' balls!"

The arena slave grinned, and answered: "When you die – eventually - you will not be a man." As he said that, he dropped the weight, and just before it hit the ground it was stopped by the cord. There was a sudden jerk and Zeno's big, hairy ball's took the entire load of the heavy stone, stretching out from the weight of it. Zeno screamed, stared downward, and after that he shuddered as his balls were almost pulled from his body. The crowd in the arena were enjoying every minute of this, and were laughing and giggling, and there were taunts then about how Zeno looked with his balls tied and hanging so low.

"Oh shit ! My fuckin' bollocks !", Zeno began to moan, as he felt his scrotum stretching horribly.

While Zeno was struggling with the new, heavier weight that had been attached to his testicles, the arena slaves prepared a slip-knot and a weight for young Marcus.

"No ! Not my balls again ! Not my fuckin' bollocks !", Marcus moaned, as the slave tied off his scrotum with the slip-knot. The slave then attached the heavier weight, and released it.

"You cunt ! My bollocks !", Marcus squealed, and his eyes went wide as he watched the weight take its fall. As with Zeno, the weight dropped, and just before it hit the ground it was stopped by the cord. Then, with a grunt, Marcus' balls were taking the weight, and then after that they were stretched out and hanging low, being pulled downward toward his knees.

Zeno's big balls, now dark and red, were caught by the slip-knot, and were bulging horribly, and as they were stretched and mangled by the weight pulling on them, they gave up their final gift of seed.

Seemingly in response to losing his manhood, Zeno writhed up on the stake and his huge, jerking cock spewed out it's final load of spunk. "Shit ! I'm cumin' !", Zeno groaned, as he repeatedly squirted out his thick ropes of cream until he had pumped himself dry.

Then, as Zeno flopped down on the stake, dribbling his last drops of spunk, the muscles in his heavy, hairy belly went taught.

"My fuckin' balls were comin' off !", Zeno squealed, as he felt the cords snapping and his testicles come away from his groin. Zeno, by then, was obviously a eunuch, castrated, even though his darkening, dead balls were still attached to him

Then the hairy, sweaty skin of his ball-bag was unable to take the strain any longer, and began to tear.

"Cunt ! I'm fucked !", Zeno then screamed, as the stone weight thudded onto the sand, immediately followed by his severed balls.

As the crowd cheered, squealing Zeno lost control of his anal sphincter, (his arse-ring), and slid down the spike. Screaming, and squirming all the way, his hairy, sweaty belly bulged, and then the spike burst out of his swollen belly. Time was then running out for Zeno !

With the blood-stained spike now poking out of his bulging belly, the poor slave immediately lost his erection.

When Marcus heard the scream he looked round, and saw his friend, with a tiny, wrinkled cock, no balls, blood dribbling down his thighs from his mutilated, hairy crotch, and a spike sticking out of his belly.

Still slipping down the spike, Zeno was wriggling obscenely, and gurgling as he began to vomit up blood from his mangled guts. It was at that point that young Marcus realized what would soon happen to him, and began to whimper.

Zeno then had a minor fit, jerking about so much that the wooden post in which the metal impaling spike was set began to shake. As the fit subsided Zeno became completely hysterical. "Shit give me back my bollocks ! I want my fuckin' bollocks, you cunts ! - My balls ! I want my fuckin' balls !", Zeno groaned in his delirium.

A gladiator was then brought in to 'finish-off' Zeno.

First, ignoring Zeno's vulgar, obscene screaming, the gladiator grabbed hold of Zeno's tiny, shrivelled penis.

"Please no ! Not my cock as well !", Zeno moaned, realising that he was to die with no evidence of his previous manhood remaining.

Wasting no time, and ignoring Zeno's pathetic pleas for mercy, and the stream of urine that Zeno started to spray over the sand as soon as the gladiator grabbed his penis, the gladiator sliced off the fat slave's limp 'tool' close to its hairy root, leaving just a little bloody stump, which pumped out thin spurts of blood and piss.

As the gladiator tossed Zeno's once huge penis onto the sand, there was a scream from young Marcus, followed by a thud, as his weight hit the sand, and his testicles were ripped from his hairy crotch.

Wasting no time, the gladiator then turned to Marcus.

"My balls ! I got no fuckin' balls !", Marcus was groaning hysterically, as the hefty gladiator cut off the virile young lad's rapidly shrinking penis.

At that point both the slaves were completely castrated, and so it was only a matter of time before the magistrate would give the signal to execute them.

While the arena slaves busied themselves tying the severed genitals round the two groaning slaves' necks, Julius and Varus were allowed the privilege of coming down from their box to take a closer look at the two naked, mutilated slaves.

Accompanied by the young magistrate, the two boys crossed the arena sand and stood in front of the two stakes while the crowd respectfully applauded.

Julius went right up to Zeno, who was squirming on his stake.

"I told you I'd get you, old man !", he whispered into Zeno's trembling ear.

"Fuck you !", Zeno grunted, his wrists jerking against his bonds, as if he wanted to strike out at the boy. Julius ignored the insult, and simply flicked the rapidly blackening, hairy ball-sack which was lying against Zeno's sweaty, hairy chest, much to the amusement of the crowd.

"We've seen enough !", Julius said to Varus, ignoring Marcus and turning his back on Zeno.

The two boys then left the arena, and the gladiator left off finishing-off the two slaves until Julius and Varus were once more comfortably seated in their box.

The junior magistrate then gave the signal for the two slaves to be finally executed.

EXECUTION

The gladiator strode over to where the castrated slaves, Zeno and Marcus, were writhing in naked agony on their stakes.

The gladiator then took out a long knife, specifically used for finishing-off dying fighters, and went up behind Zeno.

Zeno simply grunted when his throat was cut, glad that the intolerable torture was finally over.

"No ! Please ! Mercy !", young Marcus screamed, but the gladiator ignored him, and sliced open his throat.

As blood gushed from their necks, the crowd cheered.

Predictably, Zeno & Marcus's arse-holes fully dilated, & they sank onto the shafts.

The two naked slaves jerked fitfully on the stakes for a few moments, gurgling horribly as they tried to call for help and started to drown in their own blood.

As the cheering continued, young Marcus was the first to go. He noisily vomited blood, and sprayed piss from the tiny, bloody stump that had once been his penis. Finally his slim, well muscled body shuddered, and then slumped down dead & limp on the stake.

Zeno lasts a few moments longer - raised his head & gave a strangled groan, & then his fat, hairy belly sagged, & he flopped down on the stake, lifeless.

And so ended another execution session in Grachus' Private arena.

Marcus and Zeno were dead, and Julius was about to meet his father, Sennex, in the forum.

meanwhile, the naked, castrated corpses of Marcus and Zeno would be prized off the impaling stakes. When this was done, the contents of the bowels of each corpse would gush out of the horribly stretched anus, making the job for the arena slaves a particularly unpleasant one. The corpses would then be taken to the spoilarium, where they would be butchered, and then sent on the Public Arena to be fed to the animals that performed for the bloodthirsty Roman public.

While this was going on in Grachus' Private Arena, in the forum Sennex would buy two new slaves. One would act as tutor, and one would act as a 'body-slave' to Sennex's favourite son and heir, Julius.
