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.
