These striking testimonies, traced or incised, do not are not the work of great authors or the powerful but the expression of a whole people. The astonishing diversity of these inscriptions allows us to perceive a society that is at the same time cheerful, mocking, complaining, enthusiastic but always moving and with concerns so close to our own! This playful and educational book, organized in the form of cards, and drawn up from a selection of Roman and Gallo-Roman graffiti, allows you to soak up the atmosphere of a city of Roman antiquity.
