While reading some articles about ancient Rome, I stumbled across an interesting news story about an inscribed stone found in northern England near Hadrian's Wall. The stone is 1700 years old and says, "SECVNDINVS CACOR." Translated, it says "Secundinus, the shitter." It also has a large penis drawing under the text. Someone back then really didn't like this Secundinus guy. I never really thought about ancient graffiti before, but now I know it exists. 😃

Edit: article about the find, for anyone interested.
