Groundbreaking findings from Pompeii: 2000-year-old graffiti made by children have just been discovered! 🤯 These charcoal drawings, found in the courtyard of the Cenacolo colonnato, depict gladiators, hunters, and fighters: these were the heroes that captivated the imagination of the children of ancient Pompeii. ⚔️ What makes this discovery sensational is that it gives us final proof of the fact that children attended the gladiatorial games, being thus exposed to a level of violence that is simply unimaginable for a modern mind. I’ll have to add this to the collection of facts about history that I would very much like to forget! 😭 Among the sketches, we can see two gladiators fighting, beast fighters battling wild boars, and a cute little eagle. There's also an outline of a hand ✋🏻 and another scene of two gladiators, one celebrating his victory over the defeated opponent. This discovery has been studied in collaboration with the Department of Child Neuropsychiatry at Federico II University of Naples. Experts suggest the children were around 6 or 7 years old, based on their drawings' style, still tentative and immature.
