Ok so if you’re here you would be probably looking for either my I.S. Home work or you just stumbled across this page while trying to find information about punishment in ancient Rome or in the ancient Celt civilisation. Bellow I have all the information I’ve found. Enjoy!
CELTS PUNISHMENT
Ok so the Evidence for the criminal offences, and what the punishment for commiting them, in the celtic civilisation is quite small because there is not much to be recorded and found , again though  in Caesar’s account of the Gaulish wars, some forms of punishment seem fit reasonably well with what we could reconstruct as ‘general principles’ from early medieval Irish and Welsh law. Some of the most common Crimes mentioned in Caesar’s account are murder, theft and robbery, as well as other more uncommon crimes specific to only some Gaulish societies, e.g. usurpation of kingship amongst the Helvetii. The punishment that is considered most severe is to ban criminals from religious rites, which probably is better understood as outlawing them or exiling themHe does, also mention the death penalty, presumably for outlaws, but not as a regular form of punishment. The common form of punishment tho seems to be fines and premiums. As fines and outlawing are the preferred forms of punishment, it seems quite reasonable to assume that the same applied for most of the late prehistoric Celtic laws.


ROME
The best known way of deadly penalties in Rome was, of course, crucifixion, for self-evident factors. While even some of the more knowledgeable Romans regarded this to be most terrible and dreadful, it was undoubtedly efficient, both in offering a slowly and agonizing dying, and in developing a community show to notify others (crucified systems where remaining there to rot and for everybody to see – this being the most likely purpose why only one system keeping symptoms and symptoms of crucifixion has been discovered among all the historical continues to be we have from ancient Roman territories).
Crucifixion was a penalties set aside for slaves, cutthroat buccaneers and opponents of the state; Roman people could be reprehended to crucifixion only for great treason (this very much recommended the decrease in the community position as well). The best known situation is St. John, who was beheaded, being a Roman resident, while St.Peter, discovered guilty of a identical criminal activity, was crucified.
There are two popular records of this technique being used on a huge scale: once, by Crassus, after smashing Spartacus' rebel. 6,000 taken slaves were crucified, developing a natrual enviroment of deceased systems from Capua all the way to The investment – a horrible memory that The investment was not willing to accept such activities or to excuse anybody engaged in them or assisting them.
The second situation is in 70 AD, during the stress of Jerusalem, when, according to Josephus, the Roman military crucified captives along the surfaces of the surrounded town.
Nero purportedly included a new perspective, by establishing the crucified systems on flame and using them to lighting up the roads (somehow I discover it strange that he was still enjoying with flame after his investment just got used down to ground). 

The second form of ancient Roman penalties – from the perspective of the popularity experienced these days, is damnatio ad bestias (anybody considering “Star wars  II: Attack of the Clones”). Once again, it was set aside for slaves, traitors, rebels and deserters (though the punitive measures used in the Roman Army would have to delay for another time, there's too much to be said about them here. Now we're just having fun.)
I'm not sure whether this way of penalties endured in Republican The investment or was a unique presented by the Julio-Claudians, but it discovered on. Romans tried using a number of creatures (they were a bit dissatisfied by the giraffes, though); sometimes affected individuals were protected in themes from other creatures.

Have you ever believed at death by theater? Another development of the Julio-Claudians, which obtained them a lot of reward from drama lovers, was to use dying convicts as stars, for moments that portrayed a death. And, since performs were often depending on legendary topics, there was no lack of modern methods of eliminating somebody.

Roman people, as I've said before, were most generally penalized by beheading, and often were provided the option of getting the honourable way out . (This was not just honourable; it was also a economical problem, since it permitted the household to receive the lot of money of the reprehended resident without much lawful difficulty.)

Traitors, by custom, were tossed off the Tarpeian Stone.

Exile should get a individual section, since, during the Republic, it was not so much a way of penalties, as a way to prevent penalties and stay gladly ever after in a awesome and civil position like Athens or Rhodes. The emperors used exile in a more efficient way, even if they were operating out of locations fit for exile, since the Roman community had taken over the whole known globe by then... Augustus especially used various destinations for his close family associates, such as his girl and grand-daughter.

And now, drum roll .. The prize for the most inventive penalties goes to Lex Pompeia de parricidiis, which manages the penalties for parricide. The first exciting aspect is that it expands the idea of parricide for other family associates (including step/inlaw father and step/inlaw mom, uncles and aunts). We have to consider that parricide – while absolutely undesirable in any community – was even more essential for Romans, where the dad organised the greatest power, such as the right to lifestyle and dying for his whole household.
So, how modern were the Romans with this one? The monster was to be pulled until blood reduction, then attached in a bag with a dog, a rooster, a viper, and an ape, and tossed into the sea. I think pets and roosters were easily accessible, but do you assume they kept shares of vipers and apes just in case? (Actually, college students believe that the ape was included later for the extraordinary impact.)
Emperor Hadrian, the greatest aspect style for bureaucrats everywhere, determined further clarifications were required, so approved an variation saying that the monster could be just tossed to the monsters, if the sea was too far away to effectively perform the penalties.

Punishment in Australia-
Capital punishment has been formally abolished in Australia. It was last used in 1967, when Ronald Ryan was hanged in Victoria. Ryan was the last of 114 people executed in the 20th century and prior to his execution Queensland and New South Wales had already abolished the death penalty for murder. Brenda Hodge became the last person sentenced to death in August 1984. Her sentence was commuted to life imprisonment and she was paroled in 1995.  It was removed as a punishment for murder in all states by 1984 when the state of Western Australia abolished the death penalty for all crimes, and the next year NSW removed death as a possible punishment for treason, piracy and arson of naval dockyards.
Between Ryan's execution and 1984 occasional death sentences were passed in Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia, but were commuted to life imprisonment. In 2010 federal legislation prohibited capital punishment in all Australian states and territory.

O.K. so what i can see is there were many different types of punishment in Rome but in Australia and the Celts had pretty much the same idea for punishments with fines,outlawing and fines and premiums and the odd death penalties but in Rome it was basically all death penalties but different deaths for different crime. what i can also see is that rome and celt both had an owtlawing system so celts who were owtlawed where banned from riligous rites and ceromanys but the roman style was exiling which has the same main idea but different outcome in the Roman exile it meant to was seen as the easy way out to avoid death and still live.
