The more things change, the more they stay the same. Nowhere is that adage truer than at Pompeii. it isn’t a coincidence that “graffiti” is an Italian word. You only need to ride the trains in Naples to realise that. It’s just that when you visit Pompeii it becomes obvious that decorating walls with cheeky self-expression has an exceptionally long pedigree.
