Sex and Literacy in Roman Spain

Keywords: Latin epigraphy, Wall graffiti, Inscriptions on pottery, Roman sexuality, Roman Spain, Literacy

Abstract

This paper analyses around 20 graffiti on walls and pottery which come from Spain and are datable between the first and third centuries CE, which contain erotic text. These documents offer interesting information on the sexual customs of the population of Roman Spain, but also allow reflection on the spread of literacy among its most popular sectors.
