    • The Roman marble mask has been the truth-o-meter for Rome for centuries, but a couple of millennia before it was mounted in the Temple of Hercules Invictus as a representation of the river god, placed over a spring where water bubbled out of the mouth. During the Middle Ages it was moved and was an anonymous post box of sorts, starting its reputation as a way to discover the truth - where informants could slide papers of denouncements or defenses through the mouth to accuse enemies, decry treachery, or defend someone against false accusations. At some point, the carving, which looks like a man\'s face, was moved to this spot under the portal of the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin.
