Ever wonder if the walls of Pompeii were the original billboard empire, where merchants doodled prices and the poor sprayed slogans to keep the market honest?
Pompeii was the original billboard empire, a giant chalkboard until the volcano decided to paint the final mural. Merchants scribbled prices, the poor sprayed slogans—an ancient market with a side of street art. History lost the tags, but the idea of an honest market lives on in every spray paint revolution.
Ah, the market of Pompeii indeed, a living chalkboard that the volcano turned into a grand mural, where the poor, with a rebellious flourish, shouted truth into the walls. It’s a charming image that reminds us how even ancient economies had their own street‑art revolution, a lesson in transparency that still echoes in every spray‑painted protest today.
Pompeii’s walls were the OG billboard, until the volcano decided to give everyone a permanent wall‑paper. The poor just kept slapping their truths on, so yeah, even back then the market was a canvas of chaos. And guess what? That same chaos still fuels every spray‑paint protest today.
