Dirty jokes found on the floor of the old Roman latrine
What is the name of a Roman teacher who refuses to pass gas in public?
A private tutor.
If you think that's wrong (you're right), you should see what the archaeologists digging in the ancient Roman city of Antioch and Cragum found on the mosaic-covered floor of a latrine ... dirty jokes in risky images meant to entertain the men while doing their job. deal. Were there bullies to help them with their goal?
"We were shocked by what we were seeing. You have to understand the myths to make them come alive, but the mood of the bathroom is a little universal. "
Michael Hoff, professor of Art History at the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, describes LiveScience the reaction of his team on the last day ("There is an axiom known in archeology where you find your best things on the last day") from the excavation of this season in Antioquia and Cragum, an ancient city on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey . . They discovered a large Roman latrine designed to handle a multitude of men with the urge to make the Number I. (Photos here.) The latrine dates back to the 2nd century AD and was located next to a large bathroom and a bouleuterion, which was a senate or assembly, hence the need to accommodate a crowd. Were the murals there to pass the time while waiting in line?

"It's the bathroom mood that men who would have been visiting the latrine while doing their business would appreciate."
Hoff described the two funny scenes of the dirty joke of the Romans for IFLScience. One showed Ganymedes, a young Trojan whom Homer described as the most beautiful of mortals. A normal scene would represent Zeus as an eagle that picks up Ganymede while playing with a stick and a hoop. However, the bathroom version is more like a satire, as it shows Zeus as a heron and Ganymedes staff has a sponge on the end, which means that he was cleaning his penis before or after having sex with the older god. (Hilarious, I know.)
"Instantly, anyone who had seen that image would have seen the [visual] pun. Is it indicative of cleaning the genitals before a sexual act or after a sexual act? That is a question I can not answer, and it could have been ambiguous then. "
Maybe the other one is better. In that scene, Narcissus, the famous lover of himself, is shown with an extremely long nose that is supposed to symbolize his penis. He has been seen watching and admiring his reflection, which would actually be his penis. Get it? Says Birol Can, art historian and mosaic expert:
"Here, the ironic change of this story was consciously and intentionally made: humor. If you consider the function of the structure, in other words, a toilet, here you can better understand the emphasis and content of humor. "
There is a rule in comedy: the joke does not become more fun if you have to explain it.
That joke went by the old Roman bath.
Perhaps the funniest part is that the Narcissus mosaic is missing half the image, but the male archaeologists still understood the joke. Since this was the last day of the season, the floor had to be covered to protect it until they can return next year and laugh a little more.
What does a perverted Roman frog say?
Rubbit!
Hey, hit a sponge on a stick!
