One hundred percent natural materials exact replica of a Roman flagrum - the most deadly tool for punishment in the Roman Empire. Similarly flagrum  has been used since the pre-cesarians time , and the peak of its popularity, reached in the time of Octavian and Tiberius. There is no conclusive evidence, but it is likely that the same scourge was used for scourging of our Lord Jesus Christ... Flogging with this tool was something terrible - a lot of historical sources indicate that  7 or 10 beats was able to take life of adult man. The cause of death was traumatic shock and/or perforation of the lungs due to microfracture of ribs.

Handle: non-varnished birch wood 

Braiding: Jute rope with 840 daN breaking strength, natural resin coated 

Flagellum:  tanned with vegetable tannins cowhide,  steel rivets fixed

Weighti: approx. 30g founded from 98% lead with two spikes surgical steel.

WARNING!

Presented product is a historical replica. Due to the almost certain risk of serious injury caused by misuse I strongly disuade  using this tool for penance. Using flagrum for purposes other than collecting is not liable.
