Roman Epigraphy, Pompeii, Post-colonial ArchaeologyAbstract
Building on post-colonial archaeological studies and earlier reflections on apotropaic graffiti by one of the authors, we shall now discuss the value of this corpus of graffiti as evidence for a gender approach of Roman daily lifeThe aim of this paper changed considering the former one to an approach which emphasises the role of graffiti and the urban written spaces in rethinking Roman identity during the Early Principate. We shall argue that such written-on spaces, when analysed in their material context, can be taken as evidence in the discussion of social conflicts, identity and diversity in Roman society. They also enable a more balanced approach to the Roman Empire by taking into consideration the worldviews of people of humble origins.
