Brief description
The collection was produced as part of the project "Graffiti under the Caesars".
That project sought to uncover the lives of ordinary men and women, their thought processes, cultural relations and how they understood their world in terms of the Latin language by studying the surviving graffiti from the Basilica at Pompeii.
The collection consists of:
· 296 digital photographs covering all 191 graffiti from the Basilica at Pompeii; the photographs were taken at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples.
· tables presenting indexes by typologies, specific locations, and possible identities of those inscribing graffiti; and
· annotations relating to connecting graffitii found in the Basilica with those found in other places in Pompeii.
Data time period: to 0079
