That's wild! I've walked those walls myself, tons of times, and never noticed anything like that. It could be anything from mason's marks (builders often left little identifying symbols on their work) to something far more obscure. Rome's got layers upon layers of history crammed into it; you're practically walking on top of millennia of stuff. Have you tried contacting the Parco Archeologico del Colosseo? They might have some insight, or at least be able to point you to someone who does. Or maybe a local history group specializing in Roman archaeology. Good luck cracking the code! Let us know what you find out. It sounds like a proper mystery.

Probably just a local custom I haven't learned about yet. Maybe they're using pigeons for... uh... pasta delivery? Don't question it. Just enjoy the amazing cacio e pepe. That's the important part.
