In the joyous spirit of the occasion, here are a couple of ancient jokes from Hierocles and Philagrius, enjoy!

231. "A person with bad breath wishing to commit suicide and having wrapped up his head he opened his mouth wide."

253. "A pedant was voyaging in a storm and each of his fellow passengers laying hold of some object to save himself, he grasped one of the anchors."

A Roman epic adventure, based on the classic novel of the same name, set in the dangerous world of second-century Britain. In 140 A.D., 20 years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila arrives from Rome to solve the mystery and restore the reputation of his father, the commander of the Ninth. Accompanied only by his British slave Esca, Marcus sets out across Hadrian's Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia -- to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father's memory, and retrieve the lost legion's golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth.
