<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 4443043, member: 99554&quot;]Gladiators were certainly very courageous...but not as much as the engraver who worked on this coin; making a joke about Commodus was in my opinion suicidal. Here is the coin with his &quot;subliminal&quot; message :</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1110508[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The joke is : if you only take the writings at the right side of the club, you will read this: the &quot;hole&quot; (<i>ano</i>) of his &quot;bottom&quot; (<i>culi</i>) has been &quot;burnt&quot; (<i>usto</i>). Now make the link with the object depicted on the reverse and try not to laugh...This is what I call courage, knowing that Commodus had already thrown his attendant into an oven after he found his bathwater to be lukewarm ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
