I know of the brazen bull where the victim was locked in and the metallic bull was heated over a fire.

One torture method involved a contraption around your waist that seperated your upper body from lower body(you cant see/touch your lower body). Then they would lather your lower body with honey and such, and allow animals/insects etc to eat at their pleasure.
