I apparently need to get out more often. The pastor in church told the story of Telemachus walking across Asia and Europe to get to Rome, where he climbed into the floor of the Colosseum and demanded that the gladiators stop their fighting. He was killed (some accounts say a gladiator did it, some say the spectators did so), but he accomplished his goals—that was the last gladiator fight in Rome. The date was January 1, 404.
I immediately thought, "404: Gladiator not found."
