GET ready to be shocked archaeolog­y tour lovers, because there is now confirmati­on that graffiti existed in ancient Roman times.

Yes, archaeolog­ists in the UK believe they have uncovered the first Roman example of “tagging” inscribed on an ancient fort that served as a structure to defend Roman Britain against the unconquere­d Picts in Caledonia (comprised mostly of modern day Scotland).

So what did this scribbled relic of the past say? Well, something fairly off colour according to British experts.

The inscriptio­n features a crude penis accompanie­d by a phrase that historians claim translates to “the shitter”, next to someone’s name, and it seems to have been etched out by a Roman soldier to insult a comrade.

Ancient Roman kids these days aye.
