Nick has done an amazing piece of artwork and we are thrilled with the result. Taking the original faded signage on a broken fanlight he meticulously traced the original Edwardian lettering to restore our house to its original gilded glory. It was brilliant to see this traditional art craft in action too. We can’t recommend him & the team highly enough.

Origins of Type and Tags

As with modern social media, Pompeian graffiti of c75AD, were also subject to phases and trends.

Gladiators and ships belonged to the favourite motifs for sketches, and writing names in the shape of a ship soon caught on as well.

The same lines from popular literature were written on the walls over and over again, and greetings mostly repeat the same, fixed phrase that we also find in Roman letters. 

When a certain Aemilius began to write his name backwards, two other men, Curvius and Sabinus, took up the practice as well, until all three of them were messaging each other in this manner on the walls of one particular house. 

The word “Menedemerumenos”, whose meaning we do not know, also came into fashion at some point and spread all over town, perhaps as a kind of riddle or game.
