Any of the finds have pictures of disliked emperors in them?

Yup, and the heads of the smart alecs were found inside.

I doubt it-it was the Greeks who made a custom of writing the names of disliked rulers and politicians, etc on chamber pots-called “ostraka” or the broken pieces of them-that is how we got the original word “ostracized”-which meant only fit to be pissed on-still a major insult...
