古代涂鸦传统上被作为简短的文本进行研究，但这只是它们传达的信息的一部分。我建议采取一种更全面的方法，考虑它们的内容和形式，并将它们更牢固地置于其物质和社会环境中。通过与涂鸦的空间背景更紧密地接触，我们可以了解到古代对空间的使用以及人类在空间中的活动。它还让我们看到除了文字之外，庞贝城墙上还刻着什么。对话的概念提供了一种灵活的探究模式，并为审视住宅空间的众多涂鸦提供了新的视角。从数字游戏到绘画再到巧妙的诗歌创作，Maius Castricius的涂鸦揭示了广泛的参与和对写作行为的浓厚兴趣，这是一种在这里和整个庞贝都很流行的活动。
Ancient graffiti have traditionally been studied as brief texts, but that is only part of the information they communicate. I propose a more comprehensive approach that considers their content and form and situates them more firmly within their physical and social environment. Engaging more closely with the spatial context of graffiti informs us about the ancient use of space and the human activity within it. It also allows us to see what else, besides text, was inscribed on the walls of Pompeii. The concept of the dialogue offers a flexible model of inquiry and provides a fresh perspective for examining the numerous graffiti of a residential space. From number games to drawings to clever compositions of poetry, the graffiti of the House of Maius Castricius reveal wide participation and a strong interest in the act of writing, a popular activity here and throughout Pompeii.
