The Roman emperor and the hobbies' room

In ancient Roman society, falling in love with men and women is normal and popular, especially in the upper class.

For many, the ancient Roman emperor was very knowledgeable, fair and trustworthy. But many consider the leaders of this ancient Roman empire a symbol of cruelty, enmity, and many crazy, sick acts.

The following are the actions that are considered to be the most pathological and infidelity of Roman emperors recorded by historians, according to the synthesis of the Io9 page.

Establish "royal brothel"

The Caligula emperor (reigned from 37-41) was famous for his lavish spending habits, but was not good at making money. After nearly emptying the treasury suit, Caligula came up with an "initiative" - turning the palace into a proper brothel.

But in fact, this is an act of "disguising robbery", when he offers - but actually forces the men in the city and "enjoy" . The main source of prostitution was his sisters, and some of the women in the city were forced to sell into the palace.

After nearly emptying the treasury suit, Caligula came up with an "initiative" - ​​turning the palace into a proper brothel.

In addition, he lent money to the people, but gave the soldiers the names of "supporters" of the royal fund. Such blatant "robbery" form of course cannot be lasting, as evidenced by Caligula's reign for only five years.

Emperor changed sex

Elagabalus or Heliogabalus (circa 203-222) is a Roman emperor with the most eccentric sexual life. During his reign (218-222), Elagabalus married and divorced five wives. Aquilia Severa after the divorce became the fourth queen because her ex-husband returned.

Apparently Elagabalus despised Roman tradition of polytheism, since Severa was originally a sacerdos Vestalis.

According to myths, Vesta is the goddess of white protection of the house, the fire. When recruited to be sacerdos Vestalis, a virgin who officially became a holy nun, had to swear to be single for 30 years to keep the fire of the goddess Vesta not off. If you break the vow, the girl will be buried alive to die in the basement with only a little water and enough food to sip for a few days. The co-conspirator will be beaten with a whip in the plaza until death.

Despite sexual taboos, Elagabalus publicly boasted that his male homosexual preferences were more intense than those of the gods, because the elves sometimes spontaneously loved gender. Living in the same time as Elagabalus, historian Dio Cassius Cocceianus (ca. 165-229) said that the Elagabalus emperor behaved like a woman (like the makeup of a sloppy, revealing body) and watched the blond barber Hierocles as is the husband, even though he is a slave from Caria in Asia Minor. The emperor promised to divide half of the Roman empire for any medical name that would make him a true woman. Today's medicine identifies Elagabalus as transgender.

Shocking sex life of Emperor Nero

For a long time, the stories of the bed of Emperor Nero appeared quite a lot in Roman history. The sex life of this Roman prince was noticed by many strange and somewhat crazy things.

This tyrant once held a party for many days. Finally, Emperor Nero held a gay wedding with the slave named Pythagoras - who had worked in the wine cellar. In that same-sex marriage, Nero plays the role of a woman. This is one of the two shocking openly gay marriages of Emperor Nero.

Besides sick sexual preferences, death row inmates before being executed were also made fun of by the mad king.

The Roman Emperor Nero also had a sick interest in capturing naked boys and girls, and dressed like animals. Next, Nero made them dance and the prince pretended to jump in to eat them. This is one of the crazy pastimes of Emperor Nero.

In addition, the death row inmates before being executed were also made fun of by the mad king. Nero pretends to be a hungry, ugly animal, directing to wait for the death row in front of the people around.

"Part-time" prostitution

Emperor Elagabalus, ruling the Roman Empire since 203 - 222 also set up a "royal brothel " in the palace. But more horribly than Caligula and Elagabalus outside of being emperor, he sold himself.

The Emperor also has his own team dedicated to finding customers to play. He even won "guests" with his subordinates and was always proud of having many guests, earning more money than they.
