👉 The did fluid, also known as didastrum or didastyle, is a term from ancient Greek used to describe a specific type of writing or inscription. It refers to a form of inscription or graffiti that was typically written in a flowing, cursive style on stone or other durable surfaces, often found in public places like temples, tombs, or marketplaces. Unlike more formal inscriptions, did fluid inscriptions are characterized by their fluidity and sometimes their ephemeral nature, as they could be easily erased or altered. This style of writing often conveyed personal messages, dedications, or even political statements and is significant for providing insights into the daily life, culture, and communication practices of ancient societies.
