5There is a LOT of graffiti

And not modern-day graffiti, either. Far from being the result of disrespectful visitors, the graffiti that covers Pompeii is from before the eruption. It gives visitors and historians an incredible insight into Roman society – examples include private messages, public announcements, and election notices.
You’ll be able to spot all of this graffiti on one of our Pompeii tours from Rome as you imagine yourself living day-to-day life in an ancient city.
