Brothels apparently existed in Roman London (and presumably elsewhere) - a supposed* brothel token was recently unearthed on the banks of the Thames.
Interesting - so when I read that there was a brothel attached to every British fort - it's "speculative".
Are these Army brothels a bit like the "we who are about to dye ... salute ewe?"
And whilst I'm on the subject of women - I presume there's no evidence they ever fought in the Roman army - even as Auxiliaries?
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
