Overview

What is known about the sexual predilections of the men and women of ancient Rome? What were their attitudes to extra-marital sex and same-sex relationships? And how scandalous were the Roman emperors? Again there is a curiosity that belongs to ancient Roman history which historians are yet to solve; there exists a collection of Roman brass coins or tokens that depict sexual acts on one side and a numeral on the other. They were not part of the normal moneyed economy and they were used for just a short time in the first century. These so-called Roman sex coins may have been used to obtain entry to brothels, pay prostitutes or even function much like a modern-day menu, where customers who did not speak Latin could handover the token depicting the act they desired. But the truth is, none really knows Author Zigger Zillion steps inside the Roman bedroom and brothels to reveal how, right from the start, sex was linked to momentous constitutional development for the Roman state.
