Abstract

The article discusses about the relevance of studies on ancient societies, the dialogue between Archeology and History and how historians conduct their researchers on this theme. It pretends to emphasize human intervention that ancient cities went through, but, how it is possible, analyzing wall painting and graffiti from Pompeii, making new interpretations of the past. Studying the historical source, it detaches the conflicts and contradictions of the city of Campânia promoted by opponent groups. This analysis is based on those graffiti that allowed the construction of other signification of the daily life, showing the rivalry besides those groups usually studied. Emphasizes that image, as an independent historical source, is able to express esthetic and symbolic meanings, and helps us to build an interpretation more complex of the studied event.
