摘要

摘要：庞贝木工作坊的一幅涂鸦（CIL 4.4533）（VI.14.37）将一位骑士描述为介于甜菜和卷心菜之间的天生罗马人。本文通过回顾这些蔬菜在有关农业、餐饮、派对、隐喻或人物的话语中的表现方式，探讨了涂鸦的可能含义，并假设它们最初是以积极的方式出现的。然而，在后来的讨论中，这些不起眼的蔬菜不仅意味着贫穷，而且意味着罗马传统价值观的恶化。然后，本文在罗马帝国统治下的一个城镇的木工作坊的背景下思考了涂鸦的意义。

Born Roman Between a Beet and a Cabbage

Abstract:A graffito (CIL 4.4533) from a Pompeian carpentry workshop (VI.14.37) describes a knight as born Roman between a beet and a cabbage. This paper explores the graffito's possible meanings by reviewing the ways these vegetables have been featured in discourse regarding agriculture, dining, parties, and metaphors or characters and posits that they were initially featured in a positive light. In later discussions, however, these humble vegetables not only signified poverty, but also the deterioration of traditional Roman values. The paper then considers the graffito's significance in the context of a carpentry workshop in a town under the Roman Empire.
