Sitting in the Tub was an ancient torture method often used in the Middle Ages and it was as gruesome as Scaphism
The Procedure
The condemned person was made to sit in a tub with only their head sticking out. The executioner would then paint their faces with milk and honey at which point flies would begin to feed on them. The victim was also fed regularly and would ultimately be swimming in their excrement. Finally after a few days as they decayed alive maggots and worms would devour them.
