It would depend on their status. If it were a rebel king or a leader of a conquered enemy, he would first walk in the Roman general's triumph then he was either strangled or starved to death in prison. If he were of a lower class he could be thrown off the Tarpeian rock or crucified. Strangulation was the most common way of death with their bodies taken to the Gemonian steps where the public could abuse the body. when it began to rot it was thrown into the Tiber.
