How did people kill themselves at Massada?

At Masada, during the Roman siege in 73-74 CE, the Jewish defenders chose to commit mass suicide rather than be captured. According to historical accounts, led by their leader Eleazar ben Yair, the group decided to kill themselves in a coordinated manner, with ten men chosen to slay the others before one man was left to take his own life. This act was seen as a final stand against oppression, symbolizing resistance and autonomy. The tragic event has since become a powerful symbol of Jewish heroism and sacrifice.
