Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

More than 2500 graffiti-drawings from the Classical Antiquity have survived the centuries and are known to us today, compiled and published together for the first time in this book. These ancient drawings (sketches of figures, heads and busts, gladiators, animals, ships and copies of visible objects) are equally often found on outer walls and in private living quarters. Whereas they seem mostly, but not altogether just insignificant wall scribblings, they are yet an exciting expression of an awareness of life, a mood or an event that the graphic artist wanted to grasp and capture for times to come.
