Experts are "99 per cent" sure that the cup was used by the Athenian statesman, as one of the other names listed, Ariphron, is that of Pericles' elder brother. "The name Ariphron is extremely rare," Angelos Matthaiou, secretary of the Greek Epigraphic Society, told the newspaper. "Having it listed above that of Pericles makes us 99 per cent sure that these are the two brothers," he said. No, the experts are 99% certain that the two people listed on the cup are brothers, not that the Pericles listed is the famous Pericles.

Pericles couldn’t even spell his name right and corrected it. That in itself gives me doubt.

I’m going to carve “I used this. Barack Hussein Obama.” on a dildo and bury it in DC somewhere. In a thousand years, some archeologist will uncover it and say, without a shadow of a doubt, it was his.
I’ll do the same with a jock strap and sign his wife’s name.
