At every point where a road forked into two, Romans set up message boards. These boards would be filled, in theory, with news and facts about the nearby area, but in fact tended to be filled with graffiti, pictures of dicks, and useless facts about nothing(because of the nature of three roads meeting, this is the origin of the word "Trivia")

That's right. Ancient Rome had 3chan.

I really wish that was where the term came from but it probably isn't.
While the word trivia does refer to a place where three roads meet, it also refers to the three essential parts of a citizen's education in ancient Greece which were rhetoric, logic, and grammar.
Ancient Roman graffiti is great and often hilarious, though.

Secundus was actually a really common name meaning a second son, but I imagine being a second son would make you want to shit all over society in Rome

>(Bar of Prima); 8258, 8259: The story of Successus, Severus and Iris is played out on the walls of a bar: [Severus]: “Successus, a weaver, loves the innkeeper’s slave girl named Iris. She, however, does not love him. Still, he begs her to have pity on him. His rival wrote this. Goodbye.”. [Answer by Successus]: “Envious one, why do you get in the way. Submit to a handsomer man and one who is being treated very wrongly and good looking.” [Answer by Severus]: “I have spoken. I have written all there is to say. You love Iris, but she does not love you.”

Beta as fuck.

So does anyone have any good setting books for Pompeii? It sounds like a fucking awesome place for a game

>>25213650
I post this every time these come up in a thread, but basucally, I believe "Secundus" is a sort of an "anonymous" name, much like "John Doe" is today. If someone did something foul and you didn't know who it was, you'd just blame Secundus.
Not that I have any proof of that, but it seems plausible to me.

There were like only two dozen roman praenomen. And many families only used three or four. After which point every subsequent child was named numerically.

>>25213706
That's also a possibility. I figure the sheer banality of numeric first names would make them a bit easier to hide behind. That said I sort of doubt secundus would have been that common a name if only because few families would have exhausted their options at the second kid.

>>25213723
Latin roots; "Tri" meaning Three, "Via" meaning way, combine to mean "The Place Where Three Ways Meet"

I haven't been able to find anything concrete on the Roman message boards, but all I did was check page one of google. It does, however, provide a good explanation for why a word meaning "where three roads meet" came to mean "useless knowledge"

If it weren't late I'd track down some scholarly sources

>VI.14.36 (Bar of Salvius); 3494: In one bar, a picture depicts two men playing dice. One shouts, “Six!” while his opponent holds up two fingers and says, “No, that’s not a ‘three’; it’s a ‘two’”. By the door of the bar, another picture shows a short man driving a group of men out. Above his head are the words, “Go on, get out of here! You have been fighting!”

I believe this is all fairly tame as far as Roman graffiti goes. This was a city on the Peninsula hundreds of years into Rome's supremacy. Did it even have an arena? I don't recall but the towns with arenas had loads of graffiti just about them. Also Roman legionnaires were notorious potty mouths, inventing dozens and dozens of swear words and and shit loads of slang. Doubtless these men left their marks but these don't remain or those that do are few and far between.

>>25215528

And we'll never know for sure. How sad.

My dad's the reason I'm big into history. He loved stuff like this, the real human side of it.

One night, we were talking about the fall of Rome, and he invented a story about a Legionnaire coming home from some campaign to find everything wrecked. He described his life for the next twenty years as this guy lived without a home or a reason to fight, and how nobody thought his SPQR tattoo was cool anymore.

It stuck with me, and made me cry; I was little.

I plan to p,ay some version of him someday.

Pompeii had the oldest Stone Amphitheater. Rome was still having games in wooden amphitheater for nearly 100 year until the Colosseum was made.

To be fair, that's because Latin as a whole has gained a lot of respect and dignity over the years. "Carpe diem" might have had the exact same stupid connotation back then, depending on who used it and when. Secundus might just have said "carpe diem" whenever anyone called him out in him shitting everywhere, or Gaius and Aulus might have said it before knocking back the 1st drink of the night.

Ave! my name is Cinna.

I'm a XXVII year old Provinciales (that's a Roman inflvenced foreigner for yov Barbari). I do mosaics and frescoes on villa walls and spend my days perfecting my art and watching svperior Roman games. (Gladiatores, Navmachia, Venationes, Lvdi Circenses).

I train with my Gladivs every day, this short compact weapon allows for fast slashes and qvick stabs, and when paired with a scvtvm or caetra, is vastly svperior to any other weapon on Earth. I bought my gladivs with my own salarivm two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Latin flvently, both classic and vvlgar Latin, and I write flvently as well. I know everything about Roma's gloriovs history and the Roman Way, which I follow 100%

When Roma incorporates my province into the Imperivm, I am moving to Roma to join the Roman avxilia and svpport Roma's all-conqvering legiones. I hope I svrvive to become a Roman Citizen after my service, and then enter politics!

I own several togae, which I wear arovnd town. I want to get vsed to wearing them before I move to Roma, so I can fit in easier. I salvte my elders and seniores and speak Latin as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

It's great how even though that was, what, 2000 years ago, it's still the same shit as you see on public "bulletin boards" and/or bathroom stalls today.
Even down to "house for rent, inquire here:" and "for a good time, call..." shit.

That's more or less 'tits or GTFO', I guess.

Time for Catullus 16

I will sodomize you and face-fuck you,
Cocksucking Aurelius and bottom-man Furius,
You who think that I'm a pussy
Because of my delicate verses.
It's right for the devoted poet
To be chaste himself, but it's not
Necessary for his verses to be so.
Verses which then have taste and charm,
If they are delicate and sexy,
And when they can incite an itch,
And I don't mean for boys, but in
Those hairy old men who can't get their dicks up.
You, because you have read of my thousands of kisses,
You think I'm a pussy?
I will sodomize you and face-fuck you.

Restituta should be Restitutus's daughter. Roman women were usually named after their father's nomen.

eg. (true historical figures)
C. Julius Caesar -> Julia
M. Tullius Cicero -> Tulliola ("little Tullia")
G. Octavius -> Octavia Minor & Octavia Major (the younger & the elder)
L. Vorenus (from HBO's Rome) -> Vorena

>>25227718

>>25227817
I'm pretty sure "Bread" and "Dough" being slang for money came from the 1920s.

Maybe it means "I stuck it in her pooper"

It's quite common knowledge that after the conquest of Greece in 146 AC the roman upper classes fell in love with greek culture, from the arts to fucking young boys. Such ellenization of roman culture was also the subject of a very important political rivalty among the Scipiones and Cato Major.
