(...) Have you thought about screw extractors? You'll need a hole in the post, that means drill if head post doesn't already have a hole in it. Then put the screw extractor in and you should be able to move it, or tear apart the plastic. (a (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

Hi Kyle, I LOVED your theme! I mean, I never thought I'd ever see any Roman stuff *by LEGO*, but like you say, Rome was one of the most influential civilizations in History.
