Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What really gets me is he carves their names into a structure and adds the date. The date was 23... As if 23 means anything to a structure that was built by people who were around in the actual year 23.

They would have written XXIII.

Pretty sure that at that point, they weren't dating things off Christ's birth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_calendar

After the institution of the Roman Empire, regnal dates based on the emperors' terms in office became more common. Some historians of the later republic and early imperial eras dated from the legendary founding of the city of Rome (ab urbe condita or AVC).[32]

So it'd be more like the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius.

The best part of this is that they signed their names and filmed it. Like, if you're going to commit a crime, maybe don't document it? idk

Looks like it might not have been filmed the actual couple doing it, but by a bystander. They're being told off for it, as the guy does it, too.

Still, these people are culturally brain-dead, and unable to grasp the concept of respect.

Every Italian grandmother should be allowed to line up and spank him, with a frying pan.

Can we give him to ISIS? They could enjoy destroying historical structures together.

Italy's culture minister says a tourist who was filmed carving his and his girlfriend's names into the Colosseum in Rome should be "identified and sanctioned".

If only he left behind some permanent evidence of his identity.

The guy who filmed it said they talked to a guard about it and they didn't seem to give a fuck..

So if the angry officials actually care they should probably be funding better guards and training for them.

Should've carved a penis. It'd be the same thing and the Roman's would approve.
