[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7975751, member: 115909"]Sometimes graffito can be pretty cool if it was done in Roman times for a reason. Like these propaganda cups! [ATTACH=full]1384078[/ATTACH] Propaganda cup of Cato the Younger (the cup to the left, the one to the right being dedicated to Catilina), for his election campaign for Tribune of the Plebs of 62 BC (left cup). These cups, filled with food or drinks, were distributed in the streets to the people, and bore an inscription supporting the candidate to the election. I think that’s a pretty cool idea of handing out food & drink to people with your name inscribed on it as a sort of political advertising.[/QUOTE]
