Scientists from York, England have made some exciting new discoveries about Roman dentistry following examination of the skeletons of men thought to be gladiators.

A spokesperson explained:

Eeeh bah gum! That's some set of gnashers.

The skeleton was found to have a full set of gnashers clasped around its ankle, proving that not only did Gladiators bite each other but that Roman dentists knew how to make a full set of dentures.

The dentures were stained with red wine suggesting that Romans kept their dentures in a glass of red wine by their bedside to sterilise them or that they drank a lot of red wine and didn't clean their teeth properly.

Scottish dentists Dr Ben Doon and Dr Phil McCavity told FNN:

Today very few gladiators would wear dentures as they have been replaced by titanium implants.

Whereas a full set of dentures used to cost under £100, a mouthful of implants costs £28,000.

Which is why we both drive Porsches.
