Graffiti in Antiquity examines 3,000 years of history, drawing chiefly on sources from Egyptian, Greek and Roman cultures. The sources are carefully presented within their specific historical, cultural and archaeological contexts and the book explores how these sources can construct a broader picture of social identity and interaction. Graffiti in Antiquity offers readers a new way of understanding the lives of ordinary people in the ancient world.
