Heat torture is something that I had never really heard of, but it doesn't sound pleasant at all. It was developed by the people of what is now known as Greece, and basically involves the torture victim being put into a brass "coffin" - AKA the Brazen Bull. Their feet would be affixed to the bottom by ropes or nails in most cases, but sometimes their feet were left free. The "coffin" would then be placed over a fire until is was red hot. More developed forms of this torture even had systems of tubes so that onlookers could listen to the cries of the person being tortured. Sick.
