    Vagalinski noted that the discovery was made in the Cloaca Maxima sewer, where archaeologists hardly expected to find anything.

    I have a friend in Rome by that name!

      Kind of a long name, do they shorten it to a word or two in daily use or go by the full sentence?

    In 2000 years, people are going to be excavating New England and wondering why there are so many Christopher Columbus and Robert E. Lee statues resting on old lake beds.

      Somehow, I don’t think they’ll consider them works of art worth preserving.

    From wiki: "Most scholars derive “Hermes” from Greek ἕρμα (herma),[14] “stone heap.”[3]: 177 "

    Seems about right.
