Castration: First practised on massive scale It is likely that the first tribes engaging in warfare on a systematic basis indulged in castration of defeated foes on a grand scale. It is common knowledge that ancient nations regarded a collection of male testicles as a sign of a warrior's bravery and skill in combat; and foreskins were given in tribute in biblical times to signal the defeat of an enemy. According to Schurig's Gynocologia, the legendary Syrian queen Semiramis was the first practitioner of mass castration. According to one theory she had men so mutilated in order to prevent opposition to her female rule - a latter-day Valerie Solanus! Another idea was that she was simply motivated by jealousy. It was said that after having spent the night in the arms of a lover the queen would have him castrated to prevent him giving the same pleasure to any other woman!
