I like the curse tablets that the Romans threw into the springs: "Docimedis has lost two gloves and asks that the thief responsible should lose their mind and eyes in the goddess' temple." Or: "May he who has stolen Vilbia become as liquid as water."
Curse tablets are fun. They found some cool ones in the remains of the Isis Temple in Mainz, too. And other interesting things like this little bronze figurine (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zS8JWQj9cIM/TY48nHGJrJI/AAAAAAAADcE/knZWIyQKzbE/s1600/isistempel2.JPG) (link may not be work safe in the US). My first thought when I saw that one was, Tyrion had a fun night out. :-)
For those interested, here are the post (http://lostfort.blogspot.de/2011/01/isis-temple-in-moguntiacum-mainz.html) about the Isis Temple, and about the finds (http://lostfort.blogspot.de/2011/03/oil-lamps-curse-tablets-and-naughty.html).
