Actually Zeus was Greek :P The Romans called him Jupiter. But I get what you’re saying ;)
Nah they didn’t get to keep them. It wasn’t their silver & gold in the first place. My guess is they had a bunch of slaves sitting around at the...
Well it certainly paid for a lot of lavish Gladiator games at the Colliseum. Apparently a really skilled Gladiator could sell for up to 100,000...
