It says “Caesar didn’t kill himself”.
Brilliant!

“Global Warming will kill us all in XII years”
I was taught that graffiti had been most important in philology, especially studies in the development of romance languages from vulgar Latin. Classic Latin and Church Latin are rather static, whereas the graffiti on walls and Roman baths throughout the Empire show how modern languages developed.
The curses, “dirty words” and misspellings can show how people really spoke. There are wall writing over 2000 years old which translate “Caesar sucks”.
Quite a few ancient g's have survived from the Roman era, and not just because of Vesuvius. :^) In one of the Bay of Naples towns' cat houses, someone wrote, "may I always and everywhere be as potent with women as I was here." Wonder how he did? :^)
I hope there is no statute of limitation on vandalism.
Ding, ding ding. You get the ribbon, my FRiend
The rest of the RomanEmpire keyword, chrono, no other editing, so, yow:
The other inscription translates to, "This glyph intentionally left blank".
If not, the Vandals are in big trouble.
I’m pretty sure you set a FR record for most links included in a single post.

Good job!
Hadrian’s Wall is the name of one of my favorite concertos by Felix Mendellsson. It’s usually played as the closing piece for his larger work called “The Scottish Symphony”.
Exciting, but still somehow quite melancholy.
I'm sure of it, but I don't think this was the thread. :^)
Make Rome great again. Build this wall.
#11 How am I suppose to get a grasp of the subject when you post too few links? : )
Consider me schooled. ;^)
