    Does anyone honestly believe that? And even if he really didn’t know, why on earth would that justify scratching stuff into someone elses wall?

      Even if anyone believes it, not knowing something doesn’t protect from punishment.

    There are different levels of possible idiocy here. Didn’t know; the Colosseum is old, what the Colosseum is, how to read signs about the Colosseum, that someone was filming, lots of people would care, and they would try to find him.

    I think he may have gotten all of them.

    This sounds like he made up the stupidest justification after getting himself caught red handed.

      It’s absolutely legitimate, because vandalism is it only if the building is older than 500 years! /s

        Technically grafiti after some time they become historical for sure :)

        For example Pompei has several 2100+ years old grafiti.

        Although back then grafiti the writing style was different, usually it was much nicer, unless it was written in the walls of a brothel.

        Our British “artist” had only to wait a few thousand years!
