Tramp Stamp. Origins -- eponymous of Tramponi Stampezius, a Roman general in charge of moral, recreation and welfare in ancient Gaul, circa 220 A.D. During Roman occupation he regulated female camp followers, requiring them to have a small tattoo on their lower back and to pay taxes. This lower back tattoo, originally called a “Tramponi Stampezius” was later shortened to “tramp stamp”.
