A "pit of death" was just a deep, conservatively-ornate hole with sharp spikes at the bottom, providing a protracted and painful death for one's mortal enemies. There have been no such structures built for over 2000 years, likely because of some serious drawbacks :
- Accidental injury or death from someone slipping
- The noise and smell from the pit when in use
- The upkeep of cleaning out bodies and replacing spikes
The usefulness of such a device to instill fear is just as easily done by other means.
