Hell probably.
Unless you were
very sorry for
it & went to con-
fession.
I would hazard a guess that that was done as a punishment, and to deter people from stealing.
A good punishment for someone who stole something is ...Ground them (decide how long by what they stole)No electronics (phone, TV ,computer etc.)No deserts or candyNo going out with friends or family (by family-cosins, aunts, uncles, grandparents)I hope these tips came in handy :D!!!
generally if you did steal you would get your hands chopped off.
they would kill you
if you stole a shilling you would haver your ears or hands cut off
a roman punishment was a punishment given to you for behaving badly eg if you murdered someone you would get put into a colosseum to fight to the death with other murderers or with the lions, you could get a large fine for not having the correct weight of bread as being sold at, whipped for various other crimes. However if someone stole something from you like your clothes when in the public baths they would not get punished, it would be your responsibility and would have to get them back or buy some more
he would be jailed
you would be forced to pay it back, and do 6 month jail time sorry
A criminal conviction in court would normally require proof.
you can lose your hand if you steal something in the olden days. for example if a serf in the olden days stole a sheep or something and they get caught then the people would cut off his/her hand and if they stole again they would cut off the other hand
If you are speaking of Catholicism it would be an indulgence. This was something you could buy in order to take off time or punishment. Also, absolution. Something a priest would say to you to absolve you from a particular sin.
You can't be compelled to give evidence that would incriminate you. For instance, if you were asked if you had stolen something, you could refuse to answer if you had. Refusing to answer and lying about it are very different things. You have a right not to admit you stole something, but if you stole it and said you didn't, you would be committing perjury, which is a felony.
