Archeologist Discover Concession Stand At Colosseum That Gouged Ancient Romans 10 Denarii For Small Clay Cup Of Wine

ROME—Unearthing the earliest known instance of fans being completely fleeced, archeologists from the University of Milan announced Tuesday that they had discovered a buried concession stand at the colosseum that gouged ancient Romans 10 denarii for a small clay cup of wine.

“There were prices well beyond what your average Roman would pay at the market, which shows just how advanced the empire was when it came to wringing their people dry,” said Professor Lambrugo Frederico, adding that the excavation team found the remnants of etched warning signs saying no outside food or beverage was allowed in the Colosseum.

How much for a bag of Otter's Noses?

richardluddite How much were the wolf nipples? Mmmmmm

Nothing much has changed then!

You could pay extra for the lead cups and the paper packets of lead-based sweetener.

Quick question. Why would the concession stand be located under the ‘playing surface’. I think this picture is BS

Even worse, the wine was the salted pine resin Greek stuff lol

Ok but they clearly didn’t price it that way for profit, they got full clay cups.

Let alone what they charged for a Bloody Caesar.

PattyArquette 10 DENARII! I never paid more than 5!

at least the Patri Iohns Pizza served warm mini-pizzas for (checks the menu) WHAT THE HADES IT WENT FOR 150 DENARII! THAT'S AN OUTRAGE!

PattyArquette But these fucking replies are killing me 💀

Clearly this is where pre-drinking before the party sprung from.

And the cost of parking your chariot. Don't get me started.

'Get your wine here! Only X denarii! Can't watch a fight to the death without your wine!'

Visigoth & Vandal hordes saw their opportunity to sack Rome when they heard that Roman citizens were disaffected with price gouging.
