Reconstructing emotional languages is an area that the digital humanities method known as sentiment analysis is good at. A new article by Liisa Jalkanen & Samuli Simelius applies it to Pompeii graffiti. My only worry is the corpus is too small in one house? www.sciencedirect.com:5037/science/arti...
Figure 9. Space Syntax VGA analysis overlaid with graffiti locations and sentiment scores (where available). Color scales indicate the numerical value range. Left: Connectivity. Right: Integration HH.
