The Romans followed the "eye for an eye" in delivering verdicts. They followed a course of strict restitution an tried to make the punishment fit the crime as much as possible. For example, the crime of arson was punishable by death. The convicted criminal was put in a tarred tunic, tied to a stake or a cross and set on fire. Nero did this to the Christians who were convicted of arson and he was dissed for following the law.
