Did he hit him with a ‘foreign object’ while the ref was distracted by his voluptuous female ‘manager’ ?

Rome was deeply debauched by Hadrian’s age.

It said that it would have only paid for one donkey.
In a related story, archaeologists in Spain have excavated an unusual late medieval tomb containing a donkey. The name of the critter is actually carved on the tomb, it was “Hoe-Tay”.

The games at which this wrestling match took place were being held in honor and in memory of Hadrian’s dead teen catamite, Antinoos, who got chomped by a hippo or something while doing some limp-wristed swimming in the Nile. The empire had peaked when his mommy faked a will attributed to Trajan and put Hadrian onto the “throne”.

The tough part was keeping track of rounds, the freakin’ Roman numerals on those signs the Roman babes paraded around.

“Nicantinous comes off the ropes and knocks Demetrius to the ground with a clothesline...now he’s attempting to apply the figure four....NO! Demertius kicks out and hits Nicantinous with a vicious forearm smash and now...WAIT A MINUTE! WHO IS THAT? SOMEONE JUST ENTERED THE RING AND CLOCKED BOTH MEN WITH A METAL CHAIR! IT’S.....IT’S.....I DON’T BELIEVE IT! IT’S ACHILLES! WHAT’S THAT HEEL DOING HERE?

Considering the writing tools used, this is art! Lots of flourishes and style...

Do you think there were good Roman citizens watching all this and opining on its slow motion train wreck horror? Are we the first in history to watch our country slip deeper into the cesspool?
