I though it might be a "good" idea. So, post your ancient themed puns, and we can all have a laugh.
I'll kick it off with these two:
Could a Roman citizen dissapear without Thrace?
Did barbarians ever Rome?
"There are some who call me... Tim..."
Sic vis pacem, para bellum
Exitus acta probat
Nemo saltat sobrius
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori
Fortes Fortuna Aduvat

A Britonnic accountant was giving his monthly report to the Chieftain about financial matters of importance. "...and the only thing left unresolved, sir, is the invoicing of Caesar for reparations following last year's battle damage to civilian infrastructure in Eburacum. I'm still working on that one."
"What?! You haven't finished that report yet? You started on that two weeks ago!"
"No sir, not finished yet," said the accountant with a lifted eyebrow, "Rome wasn't billed in a day, you know."

The classic:
A Greek boy is playing in the street and tears his trousers. He goes running home to his mother and asks her to fix them. She shakes her head and with a stern look tells him, "Euripides, Eumenides."
What did Cicero say when he went to the sushi bar?
