   @mint Does this even require a vote?

     Fun fact: The roman gladiatorial thumbs up/thumbs down was actually the other way around, down meant sheathe your sword and up meant stick it in him.

     @book @mint Just found one interpretation that "the thumb pressed against the index finger (hand curled into a fist) signified the demand for grace, while the thumb protruding above the folded fist (the direction seems to have no meaning) meant a deadly blow." So neither up or down.

     @book @mint As far as I read, it's kind of uncertain whether up or down was death. Though I've heard that interpretation also.

     @parker @mint It's history, it's all uncertain. Our only source for Caesar existing is his own book.
