  Marcus Atilius Regulus biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
When Manlius was recalled to Rome with one-half of the land forces, Regulus was left to carry on the war with the remainder.
Regulus remained in captivity for five years, but, when fresh reverses induced the Carthaginians to solicit peace, he was released on parole and sent to Rome in company with the Punic envoys.
The common story is that he was placed in a cask or chest stuck full of nails with the points projecting inward and rolled about till he expired; when the news of this event reached Rome, retaliations equally atrocious, it is said, were committed on two of the noblest Carthaginian prisoners.

Regulus served as consul in 267, when he conquered the Sallentini and captured Brundisium and obtained in consequence the honour of a triumph.
They allowed Regulus to accompany the ambassadors on the promise that he would return to Rome if their proposals were declined, thinking that he would persuade his countrymen to agree to an exchange of prisoners in order to obtain his own liberty.
When the news of the barbarous death of Regulus reached Rome, the Senate is said to have given Hamilcar and Bostar, two of the noblest Carthaginian prisoners, to the family of Regulus, who revenged themselves by putting them to death with cruel torments.
