Ancient roman penis graffiti

They sure did have bus seat scribble types back then too. Some of my favourite ancient Roman graffiti quotes:

Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!

Chie, I hope your hemorrhoids rub together so much that they hurt worse than when they ever have before!

I was Gonna say.... I distinctly remember Roman graffiti (specifically Pompeii) being just as dumb as the shit that got scribbled all over the band/choir bathrooms.

I particularly enjoy that "[Name] was here" is fairly timeless and seemingly universal.

Makes me wonder if they also drew a little dude peeking over a wall/fence with it.

JFC how hard is it to look up the sack of Rome? It was the Visigoths led by Alaric I, not the fucking Vandals. We see this referenced all the time here and each time it is fucking wrong.

Visigoths sacked Rome in 410, Vandals sacked Rome in 455

By that logic, vandals now are plundering ukraine for 2+ years, therefore better?
