This is fantastic. The best part is that it's so formally translated. It's like reading shitposts from thousands of years ago. Here's a few gems:

I.2.20 (Bar/Brothel of Innulus and Papilio); 3932: Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!

I.3.10 (Pottery Shop or Bar of Nicanor; right of the door); 10070: Lesbianus, you defecate and you write, ‘Hello, everyone

III.5.3 (on the wall in the street); 8898: Theophilus, don’t perform oral sex on girls against the city wall like a dog!’

Someone should turn this into a full-fledged 'holy' book.

I.2.23 (peristyle of the Tavern of Verecundus); 3951: Restitutus says: “Restituta, take off your tunic, please, and show us your hairy privates”.

This is like ancient rome version of the BBS, perhaps we're all reincarnates of these individuals

if you believe in such things

Heh, I remember when I first heard about the graffiti. Nice to know the Romans weren't so different from us.

I.7.8 (bar; left of the door); 8162: We two dear men, friends forever, were here. If you want to know our names, they are Gaius and Aulus.

This one gets me every time.

Thanks to the Internet, these two have been immortalized. True friends forever. Never let Gaius and Aulus be forgotten.
