Guest Wall Bird Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Haha. Wow. In it's own way, this stuff is more fun than graffiti I see around the city everyday. Unless these are the equivalent of scrawls in a bathroom stall, which they may well be.

lumpenprol Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I went there as a kid with my dad and I remember there being all sorts of sexual imagery...my favorite was a statue of a guy weighing his enormous cock on a set of scales...

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

marf Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I wonder if other cities in Italy had this graffiti. If not, is it because pompeii was frozen in time? It must have been a trend all over the empire. Its hard to believe this was a 1000 years before the middle ages.

marf Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Well ok, but I don't think of the middle ages as that time, but I guess you are technically right. I think of that time, the fall of rome and the middle ages as the "Dark ages", but what I meant is there is such a stark contrast between the Roman culture, which seems more in tune with our own, than the cruel, backward and monastic way of thinking prevalent in the writings and practices documented in the time of the middle ages. I can't find much in the way of paintings and writings before the year 1000. Id love to be pointed to some if you know of any.

He attempted to rape the nymph Lotis but was thwarted by an ass, whose braying caused him to lose his erection at the critical moment and woke Lotis. He pursued the nymph until the gods took pity on her and turned her into a lotus plant. The episode gave him a lasting hatred of asses and a willingness to see them killed in his honour. In the end, his lust gave him a permanent erection and his penis grew so large that he was unable to move.
