As you may know already, ancient Rome had a strict code of laws. Even in the small act of tax fraud. First, the criminal would be convicted of the crime and be sent for judgement in front of the Roman Council Men. In Rome you were innocent until proven guilty, but if you were found guilty you would have your fingers chopped off from the knuckles. This was the consequence because the Rulers said quote," A man who cheats the government of money shall cheat himself of his cheating hands."
