I'm sort of fascinated by the reaction to this picture of two people, "their arms still wrapped around each other in an enduring embrace" (says Reuters) released as a "Valentine's Day gift" to Italy by some archaeologists digging near Mantova. What I'm wondering is, how are we so sure these two weren't fighting? That would be a more logical assumption, seems to me, given that they both wound up dead. Of course, given they're 5,000 or so years old, they'd probably both be dead by now anyway.How do we know this isn't just a pair of early Italian football fans?
