    And instead of traditional Roman paintings to decorate the walls replace it with unintelligible "modern" Graffiti from a spray can, ad nauseum.

    I am reminded of stories told to me by colleagues who had worked on the North Slope of Alaska. In summer they had major issues with the radiators of their vehicles being blocked by the dense clouds of mosquitoes!
