So, I'm writing an article/paper/part of the book currently on female-authored Pompeian graffiti. This means that I have to do a lot of interpretation and inference from very little data.
So, gentle reader, tell me a story - who do _you_ think the protagonists and hidden narrative are behind each of these graffiti?
1. "I would not sell my man/husband for any price."
2. Valens [the master of the house], 'Lady.' Would that I were a Lady. We ask for health.
3. Livia greets Alexander. If you are well, I don't care much; if you are dying, I'll come running.
