Someone has assembled an online gallery of walls, most adorned with some interesting graffiti ("Invade Washington!"). There's something about a blank wall that brings out the scribbler in people -- and that was just as true thousands of years ago, apparently. Ancient Graffiti on the walls of Pompeii translates some interesting examples, including:
Suspirium puellarum Celadus thraex
Celadus the Thracier makes the girls moan!
Virgula Tertio suo: indecens es
Virgula to her Tertius: you are one horny lad!
Miximus in lecto. Fateor, peccavimus, hospes
Si dices: Quare? Nulla fuit matella.
We have pissed in our beds. Host, I admit that we shouldn't have done this.
If you ask: Why? There was no potty.
