This sign is in Split, Croatia. It's a fun way to remind visitors of the city's rich Roman history and encourage them to respect their surroundings.
Roman Empire

I can see him saying, darling would you mind to getting me some aspirine?, I have a terrible headache today"This discovery of the skull impaled with a large spike dates back to the Roman era, around the 1st or 2nd century AD. The skull was found in a cemetery near the ancient Roman city of Bonn, which was known as "Bonna" in Roman times. The cemetery was discovered during excavations carried out in the 1980s and 1990s, and it contained the remains of over 250 individuals".
"The discovery of the skull impaled with a spike was initially thought to be an execution, as it was a common practice during the Roman era to execute criminals in this way. However, further investigation revealed that the individual was not a criminal but rather a soldier, maybe by a treason, murder or desertion".

I cannot recommend this series highly enough.
I'm a big fan of historical fiction and this is one of the very best I've ever read.
I was disappointed there were "only" 15 books in the series.
When you're done with this I've got another series that was about 24 in length. LOL
