"It sounds just like the kind of joke that is ubiquitous in today’s
cheap-and-cheerful souvenir industry: “I went to Rome and all I got you
was this lousy pen.” But the tongue-in-cheek inscription recently
deciphered on a cheap writing implement during excavations in the City
of London is in fact about 2,000 years old."
Via Glyn Moody, who wrote "amazing what is still lurking beneath the
streets of #london"
