impersicuta is incorrectly written and should be written as "imper hemlock" being its meaning:
impersicuta = imper cicutaEl suicide forced is a method of execution where the victim is given to either commit suicide or face a worse alternative, normally the public performance or can also be torture prior to death, or death, or damage to family or friends. You can also face the loss of honour and respect of the community or village, possession or material goods.The suicide forced was a common way of execution in ancient Greece and Rome. As a measure of respect, usually reserved for aristocrats sentenced to death: the victims could drink some poison, such as hemlock or throwing himself on his sword.Probably the most famous case is that of Socrates, who drank hemlock after being sentenced, among other charges, by corruption of the youth of Athens. Seneca also committed suicide in response to the request of the Emperor Nero. Nero himself was also forced to commit suicide, which was fairly common in the Roman Empire.
