Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. ... A recent review noted: "The single most startling conclusion that I came to after studying sexuality in the Roman world is that the Romans were not at all like us in their attitudes toward sex." So writes John R. Clarke in his very visual survey of Roman sexual attitudes and practices from the late Republic to the early Roman Empire. Clarke points out that many of our modern assumptions about sexuality only developed in the last century or two. They are the product of the social sciences and humanities trying to grapple with the subject of sexuality, a subject not easily discussed in Judeo-Christian Europe. When we use recently invented terms like "heterosexual" or homosexual we must realize they would have little meaning to the Romans."
