💩 The Colosseum's Crappiest Exit: One Gladiator's Toilet Rebellion💩

Your Wikipedia of useless facts (that's me!) strikes back and today I have something for all you history buffs and fight fans.

Today we have the story of a gladiator who decided that the Colosseum wouldn't be his final resting place.

Instead he took a mighty shit stand in the only place where a gladiator could get some peace and quiet away from any watchful eyes.

The toilet.

And there our hero grabbed the only weapon he could find. Not a sword, not a net, but a xylospongium. Essentially a Roman toilet brush, a sponge on a stick.

And with all his might he shoved it up his ass mouth. Like a man! And died. And that's it. Lmao. 😂



Apparently this is a real story and comes from the writings of the Roman philosopher Seneca. He used it as an example of the horrors gladiators faced and the extent they would often go to escape their misery.

Fun times 😂

Sadly, Seneca doesn't give us the name of the Germanic warrior. Despite his epic death he will be forever be forgotten.

Sad

💩

P.S Tagging @epic-fail I think he will love this

Personally I’d have used that stick to fight with. No one would want to come near me and then as they’re running away I’d stab them in the back with a trident

That sounds like a damn painful way to go... I think it was King Edward II of England who died with a red hot poker up his ass, another way to go that would seriously suck...
!DOOK

I had to look this one up. Apparently Seneca believed suicide was warranted "if you were impoverished, crippled, terminally ill or insane". He also believed that it was justified in order to “burst the bonds of human servitude”. The last condition would probably apply to our suicidal gladiator😯.

In the end, Seneca himself was ordered to commit suicide because it was believed he was part of a plot to assassinate Nero (whom he had tutored as a child). Apparently Seneca botched the suicide and had a "slow and lingering" death.

The whole story--Gladiator, Nero plot, Seneca suicide--why haven't we seen the movie yet? 😄

That would be fun. But at least we get a gladiator sequel we never asked for

Hehehehe Hilarious story man. Gladiator using a toilet brush as a weapon is pretty unexpected. I wonder what the crowd's reaction was.

That sounds like a horrible way to die, but it definitely stands out. It's too bad we don't know the name of the warrior who died.

I wouldn't be surprised if I found out that you spend days and nights in a dusty library searching for such, one might say lol, strange facts from ancient history :) !VSC

The gladiators, of those who did not end their lives with a plunger or a toilet brush, could throw a net and stab with a trident... but I, I just like to laugh :) !BEER
