Funny Story: I visited Pompei last year, had a great tour guide. We were in the museum and he was pointing out a large engraving on the wall. He said that archaeologists had determined it was some sort of political poster. (Some of the letters were missing) but about half way down was an “M” and an “P” and then some blurred letters.

He then proceeded to say, archaeologists recently decoded the letters “M P G A”; “Make Pompei Great Again” - I was the only tourist who burst out laughing - the rest appeared to be angry libs.

PS - Tour guide got a BIG tip from me
