One of the inscriptions is “Clintoni quod mentitur.” Which translates to “The Clintons lie.”

Evidently, a branch of Bill’s family once lived in the area.

Any graffiti with Latin for “Picts Girls Are Easy”?

[Sacajaweau]

So damn funny.

‘APRO ET MAXIMO CONSVLIBVS OFICINA MERCATI,’

Is that the Latin equivalent for "Aper and Maximus, sitting in a tree..."?

Why is anyone surprised, they had coins that denoted their worth by various sex acts on them.. they were used for prostitutes.. what act was on the coin was what they were good for.

For those that have not seen it, "Risen," is a very good speculative history movie about a centurion who, after the resurrection, is tasked by Pilate with finding the body of Christ, believing that the body was stolen, but during his investigation is forced to confront the truth of the risen Christ.

There is a little comic relief when, during the urgent frenzy of his investigation finds that Mary Magdalene was identified as a follower and possible source of information. He barges into the Roman barracks and asks if any of the soldiers know her, and they sheepishly look around and all slowly raise their hands.

They used to put a phallus on their villas for good luck, like people hang horseshoes. Watched a British series back in 2011, and they were seeing how long it would take to build a small Roman villa using original techniques. The last thing they did once the house was completed was place a molded penis atop the house for good luck.

Rome Wasn't Built in a Day

So basically soldiers haven’t changed much since the first day there was soldiers.

Not really surprised. Boys will be boys.

And a line from fairly recent times>>>>

“All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”
