They certainly take their water towers seriously, though.

Herculaneum (on a water distribution tower); 10488: Anyone who wants to defecate in this place is advised to move along.  If you act contrary to this warning, you will have to pay a penalty.  Children must pay [number missing] silver coins.  Slaves will be beaten on their behinds.

Even they knew that defecating near the water supply was a health hazard.

These are amazing... loved the acrostic:

R	O	M	A
O	L	I	M
M	I	L	O
A	M	O	R

"On this day, Milo loves Rome." It's witty and well-done... like top-tier bathroom graffiti.

I think that says At once Milo loves Rome.

A list of Secundus:

I.10.7 (House and Office of Volusius Iuvencus; left of the door); 8364: Secundus says hello to his Prima, wherever she is.  I ask, my mistress, that you love me.
VII.9 (Eumachia Building, via della Abbondanza); 2048: Secundus likes to screw boys.
VII.15.11-12 (House of Verus; between the two doors of the house); 4838: Secundus says hello to his friends.
IX.8.3 (House of the Centenary; in the latrine near the front door); 5243: “Secundus defecated here” three time on one wall.

I'm pretty sure Secundus is just like John: a generic, often used name. Basically means 'second', so given to the second son born. Prima would mean first born daughter, so I wouldn't be surprised if many of these are pseudonyms.
