Review of Scribbling through History: Graffiti (ed. Ragazzoli et al.)

BRYN MAYR CLASSICAL REVIEW: Chloe Ragazzoli, Ömür Harmanşah, Chiara Salvador, Elizabeth Frood (ed.), Scribbling through History: Graffiti, Places and People from Antiquity to Modernity. London; New York: Bloomsbury, 2018. Pp. 244. ISBN 9781474288811. £73.44. Reviewed by Nikolaos Lazaridis, California State University, Sacramento (lazaridi@saclink.csus.edu).

This sounds like quite a comprehensive book that would make good reading alongside Karen Stern's work on ancient Jewish graffiti (on which more here and links). The volume under review includes an essay by her on that topic.
