Graffiti refers to writings or drawings created illicitly on walls or other surfaces in public places. Graffiti has existed since ancient times but modern graffiti most commonly uses spray paint and markers. While graffiti was historically found in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, today creating graffiti without property owner consent is generally considered defacement or vandalism, punishable by law.
