Graffiti in medieval/ancient times.

by yay_sb

Hi,

Ive heard already about graffiti in acient greek, but are there examples also from other timeperiods?

Every timeperiod has its graffitis basically. People of the times were not really different from us on this point.

I wanted to share with you this page referencing the graffitis written on the walls of different buildings of Pompeii, it makes for an interesting and often really funny read.
