His death sucked, but there are plants with venom so toxic that one swipe will have people killing themselves due to the pain.
The ridiculous number of torture machines the Romans used on their enemies is a book in itself.
And then there's the old golden standby, being flayed alive

Did you know that Nineveh had schools of torture in Jonah’s time? Some say he avoided preaching there because he hated Assyrians but I’m thinking it had something to do with the previously mentioned fact.

I'd avoid going there too honestly. School of torture, flipping a people come on, that just radically awful.

Scaphism:
“The Scaphism torture method was a slow and disgusting way to die. The criminal was nailed between two boats or inside a box with their head, arms and legs sticking out. The boats are either placed into a water source or left out to bake in the sun. The guards proceed to force feed the victim milk and honey until they vomit on themselves. This diet causes the victim to have severe diarrhea as well. The mixture of bodily fluids and food attracts rats and stinging insects which would then eat the victim alive over several days.
Worms and maggots would spawn in the victim’s feces and crawl into the victim’s orifices and eat them from the inside out. If the victim’s crime was truly deserving they would be force fed daily to prolong their suffering. Since it is impossible to die of dehydration because of the forced feedings, the vicitm’s boat would be filled to bursting as they rot alive.
The most famous victim of “the boats” was a young Persian soldier by the name of Mithridates who died around 401 B.C. He was sentenced to die because he accidentally killed Cyrus the Younger, a nobleman who wanted the throne. The actual king, Artaxerxes, was actually grateful to him for killing the young threat, and had secretly covered for him, but when Mithridates forgot about the deal and started bragging about having killed Cyrus, he was immediately sentenced. According to the records written by Plutarch, the Greek essayist and biographer, he was unlucky enough to survive 17 days in “the boats.””
Ouch.
