"Or if the Roman WANTED posters were using an early form of "mug shot" designed to make the perp look dangerous..."

Indeed . . . however, I never thought of Quasimodo as being "dangerous". ;)

Yes, most likely he would have been unremarkable appearing.

So you think Knight and Lomas are over the top. I would like to see evidence of these wanted-posters too. (Notice how our esteemed Thog has suddenly disappeared? Me thinks he's wildly taking notes and researching something!)
