Decimation was a Roman military punishment where soldiers were divided into groups of ten, and one member was randomly selected by lot to be executed by the other nine, serving as a collective deterrent against cowardice or mutiny by making every soldier personally responsible for the actions of their comrades.

Decimation — Soldiers Kill Each Other本站添加:
In ancient Rome, there existed a punishment so deliberately terrifying, it did [music] not target the guilty. It targeted everyone.
When a Roman legion showed cowardice, retreated without [music] orders, or mutinied against command, the general did not identify the responsible men.
He punished the entire unit. [music] Soldiers were divided into groups of 10.
Each group drew [music] lots. One man in 10 was selected, chosen not for what he had done, but by chance alone. The nine survivors killed him clubs, with stones, with their bare hands. No swords, no ceremony, no exceptions for rank or service record. It was called decimation. Decimation. Rome did not use this in a moment [music] of fury. It was codified into military law, sanctioned by the Senate, deployed across centuries. The randomness was the instrument. [music] Every soldier in every failing legion understood that one man's cowardice could bring the lot [music] to anyone.
Rome built its legions not only on discipline, but on the certainty that collective failure had a price. And that price was paid by someone standing right beside you.
