But except for the accounts of the rapes of Boudica's daughters, I can't think of anything. Nor can I think of any grave stones and come to think of it, I've never heard of a British brothel.
However - I've noticed that many older works are a bit prudish and hide details about sex.
Can anyone think of anything from Britain or the other near places like Gaul & Germany.
(Note I've already read about the Batavia boys)
Pompeii Graffiti is pretty explicite as to attitudes: The Writing on the Wall
There can be little doubt that women and children were frequently found in forts as the shoe evidence is too compelling and living on the frontier must have been pretty unsafe after all so it doesnt surprise me to find this.... and of course Men + Women + children = sex at some point.......

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
