i want to share with you some of my favourite graffiti from Pompeii
- “Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!“
- “Amplicatus, I know that Icarus is buggering you. Salvius wrote this.“
- “We two dear men, friends forever, were here. If you want to know our names, they are Gaius and Aulus.“
- “Floronius, privileged soldier of the 7th legion, was here. The women did not know of his presence. Only six women came to know, too few for such a stallion.“
- “On April 19th, I made bread.“
- “
I have buggered men.“
- “If anyone does not believe in Venus, they should gaze at my girlfriend.“
- “It took 640 paces to walk back and forth between here and there ten times.“
- “Chie, I hope your hemorrhoids rub together so much that they hurt worse than when they every have before!“
- “Epaphra is not good at ball games.”
- “Two friends were here. While they were, they had bad service in every way from a guy named Epaphroditus. They threw him out and spent 105 and half sestertii most agreeably on whores.“
- “Secundus likes to screw boys.“
I’ve always loved these. Humanity has never fucking changed.
