    Default Roman Brothel Token Found on Bank of Thames

    An ancient Roman coin, believed to allow entry to a brothel, has been discovered in London on the bank of the Thames.

    The bronze coin, or spinitra, is thought to date back to the first century AD and has an imprint of a man and woman having sex on one side, with the roman numerals for 14 on the other.

    The woman appears to be lying on a bed or couch on her front, with the man positioned behind her.

    Experts believe that the numeral on the reverse of the coin could indicate the cost of brothel entry or the price of the activity depicted.

    This is so cool, that I'm bumping a ..... 3 year old thread. I don't know if you've ever been to Pompeii, but they have a Roman brothel preserved with graffiti of services on the walls.
