Hi Travis,
Yeesh, what a choice
I think I see a possible hole in your theory : didn't the Weimar Republik churn out with tons of porn ? If so, it wasn't indicative of good times.
BTW, your explanations on the sexual mores of the Greco-Roman world are the most succinct yet comprehensive that I've ever read on the subject. Laudes to you
Right on, Magnus. IMO, no punishment is dire enough for them. I did see a good documentary on the History Channel about crime and law enforcement in the city of Rome. It focused on the day to day routine of the Praetorians and Vigiles.

Any good online articles about roman crime and punishement?
