It's about 6: 30 am, and of course I am thinking of graffitti at Pompeii. To be precise, these ones (which I mentioned in a previous post) are not graffitti but mosaics on the vestibules of various homes/public places. You need to magnify to see the inscription, Rachael, et ceteri discipulae discipuliqui carissimi. Later then, EM.

How cool are those!
I really like that "bene lava" sign. I think I want to make a knit sisal bath mat and stencil that phrase and sandal motif onto it... But that will be a project for later when I have more than just a few hours on the weekend to do things.
Does anyone have any idea what the lower part of that sign said? It looks like there was something else written along the bottom there...
Rachael-
I couldn't find what the lower part says, it is not in the CIL (Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum) which contains all these sources. As far as your own artistic rendition of this, I think it would be as great as the 'Ecce Virent Omnia'! And look, you are not alone in your inspiration:
