Tagging the Colosseum

Back in the days of the gladiator battles inside the Roman Colosseum, anyone wanting to tag a column or wall had to bring a hammer and chisel. Hard work carving your mark in the limestone columns. Look on the bright side, the work is worth it because you mark will stay forever! This graffiti - a man's name and symbol -- is believed to be over 2,000 years old. What's it say? Caesar Kilroy hic erat.
