Latin in the Contemporary Polish “Street Epigraphy”

Summary/Abstract: The contemporary graffiti-phenomenon has become a subject of intensive research. Within this scope of interest Latin graffiti, more widely understood as “street epigraphy,” has not been focused on in particular. The present essay offers a preliminary study of such inscriptions (including graffiti, tattoos, labels, advertisements). They usually exploit recurrent quotations, often cited with grammatical errors. The inscriptions as such belong to a wider stock of popular culture.
