really delighted by a curse tablet found in roman britain (RIB 306) cursing somebody named senicianus for stealing a ring, only because a ring was found elsewhere in britain (RIB 2422.14) that was inscribed with the name senicianus seemingly sometime much later than it was made. it's pretty unlikely the two artifacts are actually related, since the name senicianus was not a rare one in roman britain, but there's a delightful coincidence to finding a ring that says "senicianus, may you live in god" and then later finding a curse tablet that says "may no one named senicianus be well until i get my ring back"
