@dougiesharpe: In 2019, archaeologists unearthed a Roman Stylus from a site in London that had an inscription carved into it which roughly translated to "I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen" #historyfacts #romanfacts #interestingfacts #amazingfacts #coolfacts #coolfactz #randomfactstiktok #funfacts #facts #factsoftiktok #funfactsoftheday #factsoftheday

Third Division :

I’m confused. Was the pen ancient or was the joke from the 70s?

suki :

But that’s like not what the translation said at all

ethanm488🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 :

I love the fact that humanity just hasn’t changed at all in thousands of years. Ancient graffiti being practically the same as modern is also comical

Rob Borgersen :

Wait... But did the pen really happen? Like ancient pen with this joke on it?

Chris :

Hadley Sharman | TopRomanFacts :

Roman colonies were a special category of city, and London was not one of Britain's four colonies (coloniae)

jason the ruler :

my uncultured ass though it's a reference to that one fall out boy song

SHughes :

Apparently the stylus actually said - “I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift with a sharp point that you may remember me. I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able (to give) as generously as the way is long (and) as my purse is empty.”

LM :

Someone hacked the Dutch government and only got a shirt
