VANDALISM is the deliberate damage or defacement of property, especially that in public view. The meaning comes from the destruction of Roman edifices and structures by the barbarian Vandals who sacked Rome in the 5th Century AD. "Graffiti" may be designed as vandalism (to denigrate the affected structures), or as counter-culture art in itself.

∙ 8y agoA vandal is a person who willfully or ignorantly destroys or mars something beautiful or valuable.
The word derives from an East Germanic tribe, or group of tribes, who ravaged Gaul and Spain establishing kingdoms, ultimately settling in North Africa. By 439 CE, their kingdom included the Roman province of Africa as well as the Mediterranean islands of Corsica, Malta, Sardinia, Sicily, and the Balearic Islands. Their infamy went viral when they sacked- and looted- the city of Rome in 455.
