what is the Decimation thing?

• 1-more 5mo ago
  Roman legions would execute every 10th man as collective punishment. Kept the survivors in line. No idea if it ever actually happened.

  It is something that occured a few times in Roman history. A collective punishment, 10% of the soldiers killed by their peers, randomly choosen.
