Pollice Verso, while visually appealing and a widely believed fact, isn't quite how the folks in the Flavian Amphitheater threw hands... the popular imagery is born of a painting of the same name from the late 1800s. Written history tells us that 'pollicem verte' and 'pollicem premer' were the rule of the day - to turn or to press the thumb, respectively... extended thumb for death, thumb in contact with the hand to issue a missio. This is seen here in a relief from the time. This is a very cursory and accessible site than can be a great first step on the adventurous road that is studying Roman history. And when you finally feel like getting elbow deep in the imperium romanum pick up this work (the same set Theodore Roosevelt purportedly read by the campfire during the Spanish-American War)... when you're done reading it pass it along to the next budding historian you meet.
