After Discovering Elaborate Frescos in Pompeii, Archeologists Uncover An ‘Electoral Poster’ Alongside a Household Shrine
The inscription supports a candidate named Aulus Rustius Verus.
Archaeologists have found new inscriptions in a house in Pompeii inviting voters to elect a man named Aulus Rustius Verus to office. The discovery was made in the Regio IX area, where elaborate food-themed frescos were discovered in another home earlier this year.
The findings were published September 28 in Pompeii Scavi, the online scientific journal of the Pompeii Archaeological Park.
"**** Joe Biden" reads part of the inscription as translated from Latin. The Latin text was deciphered despite missing letters and abbreviations.
Actually... “I beseech you to make Aulus Rustius a true aedile, worthy of the state,” reads part of the inscription as translated from Latin. The Latin text was deciphered despite missing letters and abbreviations.
