Roman legions no doubt had funeral rites for fallen comrades. Suspect they involved a lamp and a bronze coin for the dead soldier’s safe passage to the Elysian fields.

I told my wife that when I die I want to be buried in the woods in a refrigerator with a slinky, an oven mitt and two left shoes.

Let ‘em figure that out.

Likely a lamp salesman... The coin was probably the standard change given to people buying the lamps.
