The mortuary context of this menorah (cut onto a doorjamb of Catacomb 12 in Beit Shearim) suggests that graffiti were meant to somehow assist the deceased or sanctify the space. This and similar graffiti also show that -- despite rabbinic disapproval of spending excessive time in impure places -- some Jews spent protracted periods of time in cemeteries and burial caves, engaging spatially and corporeally with the dead and their resting places.

Graffiti is important in identifying sites and cultures. It’s how archeologists know that Roman soldiers typically spoke Latin and also used as further evidence that the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is where the tomb of Christ was.
