Damnatio ad bestias (Latin for "condemnation to beasts") was a form of roman for capital punishment where the condemned person was killed by wild animals, usually lions or other big cats. This form of execution, which first appeared during the Roman Republic around the 2nd century BC, had been part of a wider class of blood sports called Bestiarri.
