Callias was the head of a wealthy Athenian family, and fought at the battle of Marathon (490) in priestly attire. Some time after the death of Cimon, probably about 445 BC, he was sent to Susa to conclude with Artaxerxes I, king of Persia, a treaty of peace afterwards misnamed the peace of Cimon. Cimon had nothing to do with it, and he was totally opposed to the idea of peace with Persia. At all events Callias's mission does not seem to have been successful; he was indicted for high treason on his return to Athens and sentenced to a fine of fifty talents. His ...

The typical scourge (in Latin: flagellum or flagrum) has several thongs or lashes attached to a single handle, as in the Scottish tawse (equally leather, but usually only two or three) and the naval cat o' nine tails (which is made from thick rope). Arguably, the most famous event in which scourging played a role was the punishment infli ...
