Краткая история граффити

 

ГРАФФИТИ НА СТЕНАХ ПОМПЕИ

(записи на латыни и их английский перевод):

 

The following four are all graffiti that occur on a piece of wall plaster 63cm. wide by 20cm. high.

EPAPHRODITUS CUM THALIA HAC. Epaphroditus (was) here with Thalia.
(This record the meeting of two slaves.)

2. Venimus hoc cupidi, multo magis ire cupimus
Sed retinet nostros illa puella pedes.

We were keen to come here, but now we're even keener to leave; but it's that girl that keeps us here.

quisquis amat valeat.
good luck to all lovers.

I'd like to be the gem in your ring for no more than one hour, to get the kisses you give it when you press the seal.

5. vinum acceptum ab domino vii Idus Apriles.

The Master took delivery of wine on
7th. April. (from Herculaneum, House of Neptune and Amphitrite)

amantes ut apes vitam mellitam exigunt. -vellem.

Lovers, like bees, live a honeyed life. - I wish!

The following three are all inscriptions discovered on the wall of the house of Trebius Valens in Pompeii:-

Gaium Iulium Polybium aedilem viis aedibus sacris publicis procurandis.

(Vote for) Gaius Iulius Polybius as aedile for supervising roads, sacred temples and public works.

Decimi Lucreti Satri Valentis flaminis gladiatorum paria decem pugnabunt.
10 pairs of gladiators owned by Decimus Lucretius Satrius Valens, a priest, will fight. (Valens was a priest in the cult of Nero)

lanternari tene scalam
Lantern-bearer, hold on to the ladder.

10. admiror, paries, te non cecidisse ruinis,
qui tot scriptorum taedia sustineas.

I am amazed, wall, that you have not fallen in ruins,
you who bear the weight of so many boring inscriptions.



A sketch survives which shows a gladiator descending a flight of stairs and holding a palm of victory proudly above his head, may well refer to the riot in the amphitheatre in Pompeii in A.D. 59. Under the sketch were scribbled the following words:


Campani, victoria una cum Nucerinis peristis.
Men of Campania, you died with the Nucerians in the same victory.


Our daughter was born early in the evening on Saturday, August 2.

(b) Gaius Pumidius Dipilus was here on October 3.
(c) Publius Comicius Restitus stood here with his brother.
(d) A benevolent god lives here in this house.
(e) Burglar, watch out!
(f) This is no place for idlers. On your way, loafer.

(b) Restitutus has deceived many girls many times.
(c) When I came here, I had sex. Then I returned home.
(d) Let him who chastises lovers try to fetter the winds and block the endless flow of water from a spring.

16. One homeowner in Pompeii tried to prevent rude behaviour at his dinner parties by painting rules of conduct on the walls of his triclinium. His house has been labelled by modern scholars as the "House of the Moralist".


"Keep your lascivious looks and bedroom eyes away from another man's wife. Maintain a semblance of decency on your face.
Be sociable and put aside, if you can, annoying quarrels. If you can't, go back to your own home."

17. (a) Celadus, the Thracian, makes all the girls sigh.
(b) Crescens, the net fighter (retiarius) , holds the hearts of all the girls.
