Archaeologists uncover new Pompeii graffiti: crude and loving messages

Archaeologists found 79 new pieces of graffiti in an old alley in Pompeii.

This alley was like a public bathroom where people could hang out and write messages on the walls.

Some of the messages were funny, some were about love, and some were about not-so-nice things.

One message was from a person named Erato who wrote about loving someone.

Another message was from a person in a hurry telling their loved one to take care.

Researchers used special cameras and computers to see these messages clearly.

This shows that people in ancient Rome were a lot like people today, writing messages and doodles in public places.
