It is one of the cruelest methods of torture and execution.It became the  most common methods of punishments  in Greece at that time. A Bull was designed by casting the solid brass with a  door on the side for the entry of the victim and the bull shape solid brass  was designed to accommodate  one person to fit inside. The culprit is first placed inside the brass bull and then it is set to fire then in order to roast him till death. The fire continue to  heat up the bull until and unless the metal becomes yellow. In the head of the bull , the metal worker adjust  a  series of tubes and stops which are used to amplify the screams of the victim during fire into “bull roar sounds”  and the  nose of the bull is such designed that the  smoke from the burning body would be expelled through its nose. The man is then removed from the bull.

1. SAWING

This method of execution generally takes place in Europe and Asia. The victim’s were hanged  up and then a pointed  large saw was used to cut the body of the victim’s into two parts starting from the grain extended upto head. Since during hung of the body is upside down ie from the body is hanged with legs on the top and head down fall. When the pointed saw cuts the body into half , reaching the brain/head then there occurs continuous and severe bleeding from the head and  then the  saw eliminates  the major blood vessels of the abdomen. It becomes difficult for the torturers to continuous move the saw up to down and vice versa because of the movement of the body. This problem was then overcome by the Chinese positioning the victim between two boards which are  firmly fixed between stakes held and driven deep into the ground.
