This secret sign was scratched on a wall at Pompeii, shortly before the city was engulfed by volcanic ash in the year AD79. What does it mean?
R O T A S
O P E R A
T E N E T
A R E P O

The letters that make up this palindrome can also be arranged to form a different shape (TENET is the clue) made up of two identical words, of special importance, surrounded by two pairs of letters, also of significance. Who scratched the sign on the wall?
