    Roman Graffiti Was Pretty Naughty

    This episode was inspired by the band that made me a Classics major: Bastille. Roman graffiti really does have me asking: how am I gonna be an optimist about this? This episode we learned about Pompeii, Mt. Vesuvius, Pliny the Younger, Roman graffiti and scriptores. Shoutout to my ex-boyfriend Alden for literally yelling at me until I finished this episode.
