Mary Beard crafted a brilliant series with BBC, meet the Romans. It superbly covers the topic of graffiti and many other modern behaviours.

I really can't recommend any of Mary's work highly enough (and my recommendation has nothing to do with her gender).

I've been noticing that too. It's the Return of the 18th century.
