I think this implies the literacy rate back then was higher than I imagined it to be.

I had the opportunity to do archaeology near Pompeii in college. One of our Friday lectures focused on the graffiti, including how to translate some of the racier bits. I just remember the students all giggling like children while the other professors all stood in the back of the room looking horrifically embarrassed.

Modern graffiti is illegal or taboo? Have you ventured out to modern Melbourne, Australian suburbia? It’s absolutely everywhere. The places are like rundown, stained pits everywhere.
While the East has no such problems. And they are still asking premium prices for rundown suburbia?
???? hard pass.

Mural≠graffiti… both societies had/have a stigma towards graffiti. Don’t be confused by wrongfully titling murals in the past as “graffiti”, since those murals were allowed

The ancient graffiti translates to “for a good time call John’s mom on 8”

How do you know they were welcomed? Maybe they were written after temples and houses were deserted because of the carnage that occupying forces introduced… and like these days, someone just entered empty building and wrote stuff on walls. You should not claim anything , you should say „I think…“ and than continue with this type of conversation.

Bc the graffiti relate to events that happened before those places were deserted. Be it political messages, advertisements for living spaces or just jokes about specific events. So it wouldnt make sense to have these added afterwards when they didn’t hold any power anymore. No use in advertising something if no one is around to buy it. And we do have an alright record of Roman laws, there are no punishments in relationship with graffiti that we know of.
