Abstract
Suetonius records a short list of four different examples of public protestagainst Nero at Rome during early A.D. 68 (Nero 45.2). One allegedly involved the adornmentof a statue of Nero with an inscription and a lock of hair (cirrus), the other theadornment of his statue with an inscription and a leathern canteen (ascopa). It is arguedhere that the true significance of these two protests has been lost because the key termsused to describe the objects placed on the statues were altered during the transmissionof the accounts of these events resulting in the obscuring of the puns that had beencentral to their understanding.Introduction
