"The brazen bull … was an alleged torture and execution device designed in ancient Greece
There’s zero evidence that was ever used tho…
A lot of the “terrible tortures of the past” are bullshit because the people that came next wanted to look civilized compared to the past.
I think for this one, someone found a bronze bull that could fit a person inside and some pipes. It’s way more likely the person in there just played the pipes like horns
