Imagine this as early Fark grafitti.

some_beer_drinker: i found some graffiti one time on the back of an old pump house that was over a hundred years old. very amusing...cecil loves bertha, and reginald von uber fark was here and so on.


There are caves around here that have Civil War era graffiti in them (they started protecting the caves after that point) and it always makes me laugh at how similar it is to the present day stuff you see scrawled on bathroom stalls or park benches. Except the handwriting is a little nicer.

Secundus Sanduskus likes to screw boys FTFY

Heh, buddy of mine showed me that page years ago. Still funny.

Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men's behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!

ZAZ: II.7 (gladiator barracks); 8792: On April 19th, I made bread

Is that a euphemism or a boring graffito?

I think that person was describing their yeast infection.

Cleopatra does the nasty.

Pharaoh gobbles donkey goobers.

Secundus denies the allegations.

VIII.2 (in the basilica); 1904: O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed that you have not already collapsed in ruin.

And one snarky critic. Assholes never change.

Maybe he pinched a loaf.

"The Doctor diddles his assistants and everybody knows it... signed the Hot Rock Aliens"

Dog Welder: Cleopatra does the nasty.

Pharaoh gobbles donkey goobers.

There is actually a graffito from near Hatsheput's tomb implying in a very graphic fashion that her chancellor kept his job via "other services rendered."

Heh. His name sounds like Suck on Dis.

So, the wall had a mod?

Secundus denies the allegations.

Nope. That's a rather underrated movie.

Therion: One poet among a lot of fornicaters, buggerers, loiterers, and defecators.

So, nothing has really changed in two thousand years.

Secundus was just looking for a car battery to power his answer box. I think Abraxas got him first though.

Jocundry: CheatCommando: Dog Welder: Cleopatra does the nasty.

Pharaoh gobbles donkey goobers.

That's awesome.

I have pictures of graffiti from Hadrian's villa

I took a tour of one of the wall forts on Hadrian's Wall and was vastly amused at the graffiti in the latrine. As others have noted, absolutely nothing has changed in all the centuries since. Most of that writing would not be out of place on the latrine walls at Camp Lejeune or Fort Benning.

Like the stuff in TFA, it pretty much boils down to three topics:

1. Their military and political leaders are idiots
2. This soldiering shiat is getting pretty old
3. For a good time, visit . . .

CygnusDarius:
Wait, wait, Secundus screws boys and has a mistress? WTF?.

VIII.2 (in the basilica); 1882: The one who buggers a fire burns his penis

A wise one, this.

I think that was the early edit of "Never pet a burning dog."

Came to do this, but Septimus threatened to kill me.

There are still Front Page websites?

Man, wouldn't it suck to have a name like Lesbianus?

Flash_NYC: You know how I know this whole thing is fake?

This entry:

VIII.2 (in the basilica); 1842: Gaius Pumidius Dipilus was here on October 3rd 78 BC.

78 BC? Really. They knew beforehand?

Yeah. The person who made this list apparently thinks that the Romans wrote in English too!

OldManDownDRoad: wyltoknow: VIII.2 (in the basilica); 1882: The one who buggers a fire burns his penis

I think that was the early edit of "Never pet a burning dog."

I have it on good authority that it is a poor translation and should read: "Never stick your dick in crazy."

Rincewind53: "II.2.3 (Bar of Athictus; right of the door); 8442: I screwed the barmaid"

It's amazing how absolutely nothing has changed in 2000 years.

Heh, so very well said.

I remember this from before.

I don't mind the translations. I imagine they are short and possibly rhyme. But c'mon, 78 BC?


So you're concluding it's false because no one would have written BC, seeing as how that term wasn't invented yet. As opposed to assuming that the dates as well as the language would be translated into something we would recognize?

As for whether this is real or not, I'm no archeologist/anthropologist so i can't even begin to guess. But c'mon, dates would get translated to.

I think that's an example of early trolling.

Also...

Secundus says hello to his Prima, wherever she is. I ask, my mistress, that you love me.

Wait, wait, Secundus screws boys and has a mistress? WTF?.

It's almost as if more than one person might have the same given name...
