Scientists managed to understand the hidden meaning of the Latin words “hic et ubique”, meaning “here and now”, carved in large numbers on the walls in Pompeii. In their opinion, they served as an expression of prosperity and wishes of happiness. These words often appear with names, which were intended to express good words about a given person.
