<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Thomas R Reynolds, post: 3619106, member: 101613&quot;]Unless the Trivia and other books like World History are wrong, Punch and Judy are named after Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscariot. Hence the Roman themed soldier with the sword. That show did not originate in the 16th century but took its roots from a basic showing of it. It is older than that. There were many variations of the show over the earlier centuries. Not saying your wrong. I was first told about the show when I first entered the Catholic school. We were warned by the nuns never to watch that show because it depicted Christ being brutalized by the Romans. Where they got that from I cant say but it sure wasn&#039;t from an Italian comedy. Back to our coin thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
