Ancient Rome had Miami's *brujería* vibes with 3 skeletons.

Bro, imagine this in Miami

Oye, you're not gonna believe this one, acere. You know how we do *brujería* out here? Santería, Palo Mayombe, the whole nine yards, right? People burying things for good luck, or to keep the *mal de ojo* away. Well, archaeologists in Rome, in a Roman necropolis, they just found these three skeletons, right? And what do they have on their chests? Iron nails. *Clavos*, bro.

Nah because, listen— they’re saying this was a ritual, maybe to keep the spirits from getting restless. To protect the living *and* the dead. Like, *que bola*, they were doing their own kind of *trabajo* back in ancient Rome! Can you imagine, walking down Calle Ocho, and you see someone burying nails in their chest? People would think it's a new art installation in Wynwood, I swear. But nah, this is straight-up ancient Miami vibes, just with togas and gladiators instead of guayaberas and cafecito.

Dale, that's how we do it in the 305.
