It was actually a subway token. Apparently the Romans built a huge tunnel under the English channel that archaelogists have yet to discover. But when they do, they will find that it puts the Chunnel to shame.

The Romans didn't have much sympathy for subway cheats either. People who tried to get into the tunnel for free were fed to the lions. It is where we get the term "tokenism."
