- gumby 3y agoFor the teen-aged students of my boys-only school that kind of stuff was always worth reading, and the Greek and Latin teachers knew it so made sure we got a good supply of such stuff. Much more interesting and worth translating than Caesar marching around. One of the most thumbed books in the library was "Pompeiian Graffiti". I learned some sexual terms that don't exist in English.
