Scratching and painting messages and pictures on the wall has existed since ancient times. Some scenes of the oldest markets of Esquilino wall paintings, now at the Museum Capitalino, Rome; the writing on the wall of the Roman Catacombs; and Pompeian villa decorated with mosaics and frescoed walls covered floor or graffiti.

In fact, graffiti is well maintained because of the eruption of Vesuvius in Pompeii. Everything from painting the walls with caricatures of politicians, and curses, magic spells, and political slogans, or an image of the phallus accompanied by “Handle with care” as the text, all fall under the category of graffiti.
