ROMAN REMAINS (Ancient Sports Fans (Gladiator Contests) Ate Fast Food, Bought Tacky Gifts)
May 18 2005

ANCIENT sports fans ate fast food and bought tacky gifts, it is claimed.

Archaeologists say Romans gnawed on spare ribs and chicken while watching gladiators fight nearly 2000 years ago.

It follows a dig at the site of an amphitheatre in Chester where the bones of discarded snacks were found. Part of a souvenir bowl decorated with pictures of the fights was also uncovered

According to the Properties of the picture, they are rats from Laos. They need a little mustard, too.

Yummy!
