Big Book of Roman Jokes

Last year there was news coverage of a Cambridge academic who uncovered a book of jokes which casts the Romans in a new and less serious-minded light.
The book contains 265 jokes, which inevitably vary in their appeal to modern readers. The collection of gags debunks the popular myth that the Romans were 'pompous, toga-wearing bridgebuilders'.
The book even contains an ancient version of the Monty Python dead parrot sketch.
It reads: 'A man buys a slave, who dies soon after. When he complains, the slave seller replies, "Well, he didn't die when I owned him".'
The manuscripts have been published into a multimedia online e-book, which features video of veteran comic Jim Bowen bringing the old jokes back to life in front of a 21st Century audience.
