Opis: Ancient Graffiti in Context - Claire Taylor, Jennifer Baird

The essays in this volume for a collective attempt to question current conceptions and definitions of ancient graffiti. Ancient graffiti range from texts and images written or drawn both inside and outside buildings, in public and private places, to those on monuments in the city and on mountains in the countryside; what unites them conceptually is that they can be seen as actively engaging with their environment in a variety of ways. This book explores these engagements and demonstrates how differences of scale and spatial dynamics can be negotiated.1. Ancient Graffiti in Context: Introduction. J.A. Baird and Claire Taylor 2.
