history_time. Latest post linked to a collection of ancient Roman graffiti immortalised in ash at Pompeii, which proves that people? People are the same, no matter where they live, or when they live, or how nightmarish their eventual death by sulphur inhalation and/or lava... uh, I'm getting offtrack.
Some of my favourites:
"Secundus says hello to his Prima, wherever she is. I ask, my mistress, that you love me." Because clearly we did not invent bdsm.
"Lesbianus, you defecate and you write, ‘Hello, everyone!’" I am completely baffled by this message.
"On April 19th, I made bread." This one, too - as mentioned in the History Time comm, this was written in a barracks, presumably by a soldier. Who likes to, uh, "make bread."
"Theophilus, don’t perform oral sex on girls against the city wall like a dog." ROFL. Guess we didn't invent cunnilingus either.
"It took 640 paces to walk back and forth between here and there ten times." More bafflement! Somebody must have been pretty bored...
"Whoever loves, let him flourish. Let him perish who knows not love. Let him perish twice over whoever forbids love." ...my flist has been full of California's Prop 8 all week. Enough said.
"O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed that you have not already collapsed in ruin." I have often wished to write this on a wall.
Go look, it's hilarious. I haven't seen so many instances of the word "screw" on one page since I read the instructions for putting together my bookshelf.

Date: 2008-11-10 12:40 pm (UTC)"The one who buggers a fire burns his penis" and "Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!" are my favourites. They are all so wonderful.
