haha the old, buy a brick to pave the walk of heros grift
Proof that the Roman’s did not always use subtractive notation in their numbers.
Its kind of funny seeing this and remembering the “donor bricks” in front of my library. Basically the same idea, “I paid to support this place, put my name on it somewhere”
