Abstract

In this paper we show Roman graffiti and dipinti that we have incorporated into the caupona and schola of Gallaecia Viva reenactment association. The aim is that the interior and exterior walls of these spaces show what a Roman could see and read on them. We have used graffiti and dipinti with different themes: love, insults, jokes, advertisements, election campaign posters... Inside the caupona the texts are related to drinking, while inside the schola they will help the students to copy their school exercises from them.
