Roman butchery of Celtic prisoners
#5
Thank you, everyone, for your help. It was mentioned in a scholarly book, or in an ancient work. Unfortunately, I don’t remember. I have the feeling it happened during a war between Carthage and Rome. After a battle, the victorious Roman general ordered all prisoners to be freed (or enslaved?) apart from the Celtic prisoners: the Celtic prisoners were separated from the other prisoners and executed in cold blood. Was it Scipio Africanus?? I just don’t remember.
