Roman records

Hi,
Not sure if I posted this before.
It's an article from the journal Classical Research into Archaeology and Paleontology (access details CRAP, vol. 27, no. 5, pp. 44-7). No specific description, but some useful background of the subject.

[The Fallen Angel]

He he he he he!!!!
A MUST read for anyone who has not had a humour bypass. Here's a sample


Samples of the anitergia

Utter humiliation at a crucifixion
We marched out ignoring her wails,
Seven miles over hills, streams and dales.
We did everything right
Till we got to the site
And I found I’d forgotten the nails.

The agony of crucifixion
Livvy said, as we rowed on the lake,
“When you’re nailing a girl to the stake –
That must hurt, I would guess.â€
I replied, “Not unless
I hammer my thumb by mistake.â€

A criticism of the proposed new method for fixing slaves on crosses
The problem with such crucifixion
Is holding the wrists down to fix them,
For do what you may
She will wriggle away
Before the glue sets and she sticks on.

An endless torment
Once a girl has been nailed on the tree
She will find her existence to be
One of horrors and fears
Where each moment seems years –
Like my marriage to Anna-Marie.

If you have any more please post! I need a good laugh now and again.
