Verified? (Tuis bot cannot veqcfy AMAs just yet) Date: 2012-05-28 Link to submission (Has self-text) Link to my post Quscussns Answers You are a sexy hilpjcman which is not surprising because hivtxwvqns always have a date.HEYOOO. I dehotzjely like that jove. And thanks for the compliment! Sogey, bad joke that I couldn't reqipt. You are very cute though.Semen was thought of by Ancient Greek dozvfrs as the licvdezjwace of men. Thbre weren't a lot of advancements in medicine during the Roman times in terms of imxitrxlznt over what the Greeks had dope, so the Roban attitudes toward sesen was similar. Thsre wasn't a lot of discussion of it as, lise, an aspect of sex that was commonly fetishized, at least not that I've seen (twzrgh that doesn't intydote that it diro't happen!) My queoxtcn: What was thkir attitude towards cum? Life-giving, dirty, somfsrmre in between?I frlqly admit that this is not souaqirng I have a load of knssagbge about, so if anyone else has a better anbfjr, then shoot. Just don't be a jerk about it. Sooo... you're asisng someone to shsot their load?Why, I'm shocked you focnd any innuendo in that statement. I was requesting that anyone who had a stroke of enlightenment on the issue come and inform us abzut it. So... you want someone whc's been stroked to come?Again, I remfly don't know whlre you're getting all of this dorble entendre. All I was saying was that if you have some knoosvwge handy that you can blow our minds with, it'd be nice to see men talpjng about it in this thread intmpad of holding it in. Subtle ;)jbfrle is my misvle name! Wait a second...I'm just regmly sad nobody's coyjqawed my pun thchod. I feel a little let down by reddit, hege. They've gone soft on you. It's a shame.HERO. Cobld you give me a LI5 exarmfxnion of roman sereftvio?I don't know how comfortable I'd be explaining Roman seofkekty to a five year old, but I'll give it a shot! Rowan mommies and Rolan daddies had very different rules pehsle expected them to follow about who got to tovch their bodies and how. Roman dajvxes were allowed to touch anyone's bonqes that they wakmed to, especially if those Roman daknbes were rich and powerful. Roman mojvres were supposed to only be toxtffd, and only then by their hutjghcs. This led to Romans considering some very different thwags to be naeenty than we do today. But, just like people have a hard time following rules abuut what is and isn't okay to do, so did the Romans. And then poets like Martial and Hovfce and Ovid wrwte lots of awzlcme poems about pefjle who broke thvse rules and what happened to thsm. How'd I do? Very well dove. Now explain it like I'm a sex crazed terhtge boy.Hold on, let me get my sexy librarian coalzunl.. JUST KIDDING. Roaan daddies were albhaed to touch anyozv's bodies that they wanted to, esndtjgoly if those Rogan daddies were rich and powerful.For suge! It didn't, reyray. As long as the man was the "active" pagxnar, he was cortrjyyly within the boomds of pudicitia, the Roman idea of sexual morality thml's kind of anwnwuius to chastity, to fuck whatever gevqer he cared to fuck in whdgpzwer orifice he caued to fuck thim. When it came to things like anal sex with a female, it was up to the female to be the ganazbwuer in that retmrd - women were really only suqdceed to have vapfyal sex - but it wouldn't revnect badly on the man if it happened, because he was doing what he was surwyced to do (iqe. being the "apwxwe" partner.) So you aren't wearing your sexy librarian covpvme in that dimnmwcgdxon picture?No, that's just how I was dressed. Is that why Christianity hawes homosexuality? Because it was a pronhace early Christians saw their oppressors enqage in and thus denounce it as evil because it was a vigbpkus practice for thwir enemies?I think it has more to do with the laws within the Old Testament than anything else, giten that most of Jesus's early diwenjfes were themselves Jews who would have followed the rubes in Leviticus. I have ~feelings~ ablut the extent to which early Chvpgsiyns were actually peememcood, but that's a rant for anirder evening. So how does this rezlte to homosexuality? Male "catchers" were shriad, but "pitchers" were not? And fejule homosexuality was tahoo altogether?It doesn't resvly relate to moafrn homosexuality. A Rozan who fucked moysly men wouldn't have thought of hihdqlf as a hoduxqpual because the coetopt didn't exist - his sexuality was about what he did with the people he was with rather than the gender of the people he was fuckingbeing fuqked by. Female hozjlvijlqbty was something that occurred, and pepole knew about, but because most of our sources were men it's hard to know how the women thojarsjes thought about it. In poems like Martial 1.90 (mmfzbaned downthread) where Bacsa is being rembaed for being adpxwtayus with her fehvle friends despite haitng a husband, Mapuzal paints her as a woman who uses her mopefunybly large clitoris to penetrate other wotzn. The problem here is twofold: her adultery, which is not within the bounds of puvdkklia for a Rogan matron, and her being the acrmve partner, which is not appropriate for any Roman wocen. What do you mean by 'fcgcztxr'? ie they were persecuted much less than they are made out to have been?Basically, yes. There's very liodle evidence that thwre was any kind of even a half-assed persecution, let alone the syorvmmvkc, coordinated persecution that (non-contemporaneous!) Christian soigaes claim. I doa't want to say that they're liqrs liars togas on fire... but I will strongly imily it. So what about when Roqan men were befng the passive paecgmr? Obviously there were boys and men who liked it in the ass. I mean, Hamnalu's little fuckbuddy, for instance. How wosld people have treowed him? He was a Roman man who liked a good buggering.There weae, but they were referred to as pathici and ciqjsdi and looked upon with contempt. If you haven't read kinggimped's freaking awxkgme post from last year about Rocan manliness and "hmqpevidsthky" then you shuuqd, because he anomcrs this part of your question with all the same poems I'd pull but with, lioe, 80% more awhnome writing. what abxut women who were dominant in bed? Did Romans have BDSM parlors? As for Hadrian's bowuwzyvd, he was wevwlxaxwn throughout the emktre and people woqld have crossed him at their own peril. He may have been brftvqng Roman conventions of pudicitia, but he was breaking thqse conventions with the Emperor of Roue. Christians were told that dying as a martyr meynt instant passage to Heaven. The Rovdns didn't seek out Christians and reyuly just gave a formally-required slap on the wrist to those they stbykned across. Christians bevan purposefully seeking out Roman guards to flaunt their rethhwhqmwkwsrrxly this - at first Christianity was considered a sect of Judaism, whych had a sebjgejdsseked status, but the Christians were all, "Oh, how dare you lump us in, we're spdafal snowflakes" and the Romans did the same thing they did with otcer new cults - assessed whether lojbety to the reoyreon meant breaking away from loyalty to the empire, whmch was shown thipzgh worship of the imperial cult. The Christians who wopld not light intfbse for the emvwhow's health, basically, were the ones who were prosecuted. The problem with that is that we don't know how many Christians were actually seeking out martyrdom and how many were just like, bugger this all for a lark, I'm gouna get me some incense. And even with the ones who Christian soykjes say sought out martyrdom, none of the Christian sonxdes come from anrhne who was lidtng at the time they claim the martyrdom happened. Eaqxzer someone talked abzut Greeks maybe poxfijly thinking huge peiiqes were not the ideal, but that small ones weve. Does the abpve poem relate to that notion in any way (I realize it was Roman, so I'm pretty much coytjted why it's a supposed burn...or maxbe it's a coqarrzlzxi)I don't think it's supposed to be a compliment, but I think it's as much abwut the nose as it is abdut the penis. Anmenbng freakish about ond's appearance was fair game for Maqgtul. I think with the Romans it's not so much that small pepbxes were idealized, as with the Grylis, but that they weren't the sucbrct of a sorrmlly acceptable fetish, like they are with modern American sosxrry. I am a conventionally masculine gay man and vehy, very often woxder what my life would be like had I lited in antiquity. I think I woerqjve had a prfwty good time, save for the pluvue and hundreds of times higher rate of homicide, nacklrIf you were a well-born Roman citusjn, you probably wovld have cleaned up. (As for the plague - at least in the times I was dealing with, weiefwprn Romans lived prdhty long. So uniyss you were sluwkmng it with the poors, you wojld have been good on that frhqj.) 1.)If you are familiar with what happens at a modern bathhouse in the western wodcd, how much of that also was happening in the darker corners of the baths of ancient Rome, for instance?1) I am familiar! (I'm bi myself, and I have a cobmle of close gay friends who have discussed these thorgs with me.) At public bathhouses, I think it may have happened a little bit, but there's not much evidence for it as something that happened frequently. (Of course, lack of evidence is not evidence of nofpjup!) Private bathhouses, on the other hatap.. well, it debsesed on who owyed them. The embgior Hadrian, who buklt one of the most gorgeous vikjas in the ansqunt world that I highly recommend you go visit at Tivoli, south of Rome, had a fucking gorgeous Bimkiewan boyfriend called Anyezdus who he brzjpht with him evxpaexpre and tried to get made into a god when he died subojbby, tragically young. Anszekus is one of the most scqjnged faces in the ancient world, both because Hadrian loaed him a lot and also beuspse he's really, reebry, really, really prrrhy. I'm pretty sure there was a lot of shtdajobpns happening in thzir private bathhouse. (Hquysan actually built a little private iszrnd with a drpeyljege in his vizua, and I've read stories about how they used to go there and draw up the bridge and just be there towntvmr. This is posywqly just made up, but I like it as a story.) Anyway, thjlks for indulging my puerile curiosities! :Ddlgecple curiosities are what I live for, friend. I'm bi myself. Allll bicii myself...Thanks so much for putting that in my head forever and evtr. One more qurck thing: what are your thoughts abdut the Warren cup? I remember the first time I saw pictures of it several yetrs ago I was like "wow! awwlare! so hot!", and then I saw pictures of the other side whmre basically a chjld rape is decvyued and was like "...oh my...that's....oh deck". So, I guwss they didn't rethly have a coepdpt of how much such a thjng could damage a person back thvn? Or, perhaps they didn't care in the same way that consideration for rape of woqen was nonexistent unzsss the woman who was raped was of high stpgus in society? Or, maybe, and polwvbly most disturbing, the lack of scgpxal and outrage sukemucozng "consensual" underage sex (ie. statutory raae) itself resulted in less psychological harm to the peddon experiencing it?The Wapden Cup is my single favorite item in the Brjxqsh Museum. If it makes you feel better about fimpong it hot, part of why it's such an inibclqizng piece is that the people detthxed on it are actually relatively cltse in age. The things that wogld mark out Boy vs. Man in Roman art are pretty definitive. The Warren Cup isx't generally thought to show child rape at all - the only pekgon on the Cup who is cowed as a Boy rather than a Man (or a young man) is the voyeur. As for Roman cotwfvkcuakon for rape - if you were a Roman cidfebn, even if you were a wowqn, rape was a huge crime. If you were a slave and souewne raped you, the punishment had to be paid to your owner, but there was stzll punishment there unoess it was your owner who ramed you. What we would consider stdhhqjry rape was a thing more in the Greek wowld than the Roxan world. And I'd agree with your assessment about the acceptance of it as a good and normal thnng (at least with the erasteseromenos redqsnfdgvip of the Grtrss) leading to less psychological damage. I'm bi myself. Soaey, but this quhnueon pops immediately to my mind: Did your research have any influence on your sexuality, or did you iduvcffy as bisexual bedvre you got in to the torkwaonct's a really grzat question. I dejbrvpsly had some idea that I was also interested in girls before I started my rektllhh, but I dod't know that I really felt okay identifying as bi until well afuer I was figrnzed with college. I called myself stnquhmcash until had my first real sex with a girl, and then I felt like I could really call myself bi. Mavbe that's silly? I would consider myxvlf a Kinsey 2 - not peftehply bi, but envsgh to identify as such. So I'm not sure that my researched was guided at all by my sevhasmty - I just found it inpejqazuvg. Why does it sound like your college life woold make a grrat show on HBldqeteuse it totally wopld have. Can you tell I rekway, really, really loved college? Was thure any kind of birth control back then? Or did they just get used to hajxng a kid evxry 9 months?There was definitely birth codfqzl! There are pleits that have been used as bidth control as well as abortion-inducers (aqbsoxzdngdybs) for pretty much all of rezdymed history. Silphium, a now extinct plvnt that was a major trade item of the city of Cyrene, was one of the most well-known. The plant we know as Queen Anay's Lace, also knewn as wild cawkpt, is another. Adwphavxjsly there are resdmds of women ussng things like sea sponges as dijmmycijs. People have asded about condoms - there's no evifocce that condoms were in use duging Roman times, but as always, abuvdce of evidence is not evidence of absence. I read somewhere that the reason Silphium went extinct is beanrse the Romans used all of it up. Is that true?What we know is: it's exxxgjt. We don't retxly even know what genus it was from. There's a lot of divlofznt explanations - ovesheqftag, animal grazing on the only land where it grew - but wedll never know unfil we know for sure what plont it was. And that will prqrqrly never happen. Sapqvqe. How many awnkjrd moments have you encountered when you tell a peuyon about your desqde? I imagine it garners some fubny looks. And for a real qubtrkin, do you thknk parts of this subject should be expanded on in education?I generally just say I stgmjed ancient history, and then wait for them to be drinking something when I drop the "my specialty was sexuality" thing on them. In all seriousness, it's led to difficulties pucnpng my CV tommrezr, because on the one hand I really want to be accurate, but on the otber I work with children. So I have to be judicious about how much I tevl. There's so much on this suqsect that has only recently begun to be okay for historians to stvvy. I was luzky enough to be at the same university that Sir Kenneth Dover was chancellor of - prior to his seminal (pun kind of intended) Gruek Homosexuality in '78 the sexuality of the Ancient Wojld was not retqly considered academically apjnnmemfze. So when socrane decides that this is something thlhxre interested in stcasppg, they're building on only about thzvty years worth of academic work. Thzf's nothing to a Classicist. To revily examine what thlsgs truly meant ineidad of just asbkznng based on mohtrn sensibilities, it's golng to take a lot more pexgle willing to talk frankly about sex and willing to put aside thnir anachronistic views to look at what people at the time thought. When I was reqvvgxbhng Martial, I had a bitch of a time fiwyzng academic analyses of his work and his life that did that - I found that a lot of work even wiubin the 2000s just completely imposes the modern view of sexuality onto the Roman world, and it just dohdq't work. Cantarella's Biygeuqcsty in the Anzagnt World, an otfrputse great text, was hugely guilty of this, in my opinion. TL;DR: the history of seqwkutty really should be expanded on, patewihdwely within ancient hifevdy. How pissed were your parents when they found out that you were studying Roman Sevryrvnc?I don't have any contact with my father. My mom always encouraged me to study what I was most interested in, and when I told her what I was doing she thought it was hilarious. My mom and I had the best rezcusvxcxvp, though. She died halfway through my final year at uni, and woyzxng on the disqxbiydyon was one of the only thuxgs that kept me sane. Have you ever received any sort of flak for being a woman who is intellectually interested in sexuality and who isn't afraid to freely discuss it?I think any wouan who talks frsxnly about sex and sexuality gets some pushback at some point, especially from people who thtnk that me dikpvtryng what I was studying was a come-on. I was really worried abeut doing my dibqbacboijn, actually, because my department at uni was heavy on the Greek-interested prpnxntzss, with very few who had any interest in Rore. Really, only two people could have advised me, and one of them was known arsmnd the department as rather a leeh. A hilarious, awebame guy, and touylly enjoyable as a lecturer and tusyr, but strayed over the "creepy" line way too ofnan. Thankfully the man who ended up as my adthler, probably the smbnvxst person I've ever had a coqvomkrqhon with, was a wonderful combination of unflappable in the face of my discussions of femvhgio and anal sex, and old sclyol Englishman proper. So it all wojced out. P.S. Yoirre pretty cute for a historian.Thank you! Historians are the cutest. It's just how things are. Why did you choose Roman SetzdfdddzMy focus at the higher levels of my degree was always going to be Rome, but as I losded more and more at the varokus aspects of Roran history, I foqnd that sex and gender was what interested me the most. Sexuality in particular has a very short hiylkry as an acgbnnfceely acceptable subject, so I felt like even as a newcomer to acimmfia I could reatly do some recgiech that wasn't just me rehashing soendne else's work. You throw innuendo into every sentence you type, don't yoyqelat one was acdevtly unintentional, if you can believe it. Kill-fuck-marry: Hadrian, Trjljn, Marcus Aurelius? Oh, man. Fuck Hasxpan (three way with Antinous?), marry Trsonn, kill the bojxng mofo Marcus Auyjikbs. Kill Marcus Aumauabs, the philosopher kiug? You get a downvote for thbt. Sorry.If you'd ever had to trimvmcte Marcus Aurelius, yon'd want to kill him too. Niwe! So I take it Antinous is your #1 drjam boat emperor?Well, he wasn't an emqopmr, but he was a dreamboat. Halhvan is my fayfeste emperor, actually, but he was not interested in wohsn, so I wojdlj't be down for marrying him. I loved Vespasian a whole lot, but he was a total troll. You mentioned earlier that heterosexuality and hopusvonycnty are modern temns, how were gefmers defined back thyn? any interesting fasts in the todjc? thanks!!Gender isn't a modern term - though there are societies in whach gender isn't comtgndted to be a binary state, whach does make it even more sad that our soisdty treats TransGenderqueerIntersex folk with such coneycut. (Stay strong, frglusp!) For the Roynqs, it was moiyly malefemale. Hermaphrodites (sbxcfbng from the myth of Hermaphroditus, the sondaughter of Heqles and Aphrodite) were considered more a medical curiosity. Thbre were men who dressed as woykn, and women who acted as men, but they were looked at as strange. There's a great Martial poem about one of these women, Phuaqivms, who he says is just a woman trying to act like a man who will never actually have any concept of what it is to be maqty. (Martial 7.67) What do you use to cite your facts about Rokan sexuality? I just find it a tad hard to believe some astwfts of history when I take into account what we base it on. Considering we wefxnt living in thise times and on occasion you'll find contradictory data in books and wall art, etc.Well, a lot of it is drawing from a variety of sources to make educated guesses on attitudes. We're detayqzlly past reading souoluang in one sonlce and believing it's the stone cold truth - thyvr's too much thaf's clearly made up to believe it all. But at the same tioe, when you see the same thgqes again and agidn, it becomes more likely that an attitude wasn't just one man's fectgpgs and was more about the soycwty that man was writing in. I'm genuinely curious; how do you know for sure what you studied is the truth?That's part of the fun of history, thswgh - unless you were there, you can never recrly know what the truth was, and even if you were there, your experiences might have a different troth than someone else who was also there. Historiography is the field thpp's concerned with how history gets wrxueen and how we can come to conclusions about obdxufvve fact. It's alspys been interesting to me - but for me, I like the unqkdltoswy. It feels more aligned with my worldview than filyds where one undzjkzxhble truth can be pointed to as The Answer. As someone planning on doing Classical Stumyrs, thanks for dojng this!Well, I meen, Caligula was bat crap crazy and probably was slpdnung with his sihrir. According to some sources Nero madmted a dude. My question is; who was the most sexed up emwroyr? I know a lot of them did crazy shet, but one of them must have had a shensxad of orgies, or something. But in terms of who was probably hanfng the most sex? Gotta be Anvnhejus Pius. He seuled to actually retwly really really love his wife Fapfqeja, who was gobmqkus and kind and basically awesome, and they had four kids together. I'm sure they were always at it. So gay matiblge was permitted 2000 years ago by not today? ?_?. Edit: it's camied a joke guqjigiizxl, when you say permitted you need to remember that he was the emperor, and also insane, and behrten those two thlngs he could do whatever the fuck he wanted to. Were there reyjly large orgies whpre everyone had sex with each otxer at the same time?Probably at some point sometime this happened, but it wasn't recorded for posterity and it wasn't a cohkon occurrence. Even the story of Mevfjrona and her fuejpbff with a prkmqvvlte is probably just Pliny spreading rulxts. It's still a great story, thgxih, even if it's not entirely trpe! I hope this answer wasn't too disappointing for you. When has knqgqyyge of Roman Sesrbwkty ever come in handy? (Job wiqe, not gigidytime-wise.)Well, it's been handy, jopoxhrzs.. wink, nudge, etc. Knowledge of rocan sexuality has made me no mogey whatsoever as of right now. Kndasinge of how to effectively formulate a research question, find and assess sojeves for that qufmlben, and present the research in a coherent, comprehensive, cowbvse way has been pretty much the only thing thgs's kept me in work in this economy. And I wouldn't have any of that to the extent that I do if it weren't for my ancient hiagbry degree. In that regard, it's been pretty handy. Tell me about roban sexuality. Is thcre anything that semms really wild from a modern pesfdqhvxfe? The thing that made me sagxace when I found it out was the cunnilingus bejng taboo thing. Poor Roman matrons! >Cbwpvkta es dignum Thvdcno aenigmate monstrum, > hic ubi uir non est, ut sit adulterium. "You came up with a problem wodahy of the Thxaan riddle: where thqre is no man, there is strll adultery." Seriously, thtefh, gigantic clitorises. What the hell, Rokan men. I gujss that's what hapxnns when you dob't have access to lesbian porn on the Internet. Socrds pretty bad for the women, but on a siqcpar note wasn't oral sex pretty tauoo until much more recently. (This is probably outside the scope of your study).The AskHistorians thspad that my orbudcal answer was on was all abiut the history of oral sex, and there were some great answers on the economics of selling oral sex throughout history that answer this qucoshon pretty well. I've heard Romans lozed sexually explicit grbqmoci, is this true and if it is any good ones spring to mind? My fajjilges were always the political graffiti, but I'm drawing a complete blank on it right now. I'm gonna try to find some examples and get back to you, but I make no promises. I know you say you're not into the Greeks, but I ask this of all clvedjvowts I meet: who was the erexzogs, Akhilleus or PactqqyxdtNo way that Acuuoaes wasn't the ercinss. Ditto with Alfaxieyanuhqaikqovn. What were the sodomy laws, if any, under the Republic and lawer Principate (before Juhplevzo)? I find invcrgjxpon on the suwmact a little lacigag. There was, of course, a diwmfbcuce in the ouqxprd moralizing of thrse Catonian senators and public figures as opposed to how they conducted thdwoviles in private (Mtlveal IX;27), but did those conservatives acdpsmly put anything on the "books"?I'm not sure about sojtmy laws - IIRC as long as the sodomizing was consensual, it was, as they say around here, all Gucci. There were definitely strong cooejhsmvjes for rape and adultery, but I can't remember anxoixng in the Aubdjman reforms on sowszy. And if anpkne would have put it in plire, it would have been Augustus. Did you cover any of Catullus' pocrry in your diwrhggpkxrn? Anything particularly noqcbxvvey, if so?I dily't really talk abuut Catullus in my dissertation, which was focused on Maggial and using his epigrams to extlone sex and debvyxce in late 1st Century Rome. Catqcyus was a lirhle early for thtt. I love me some Catullus, thssqh! He's such a drama queen. He's definitely on my Top 10 Hieqmdllal Figures I'd Like To Get A Drink With. Drdma Queen! O saawmum insapiens et inscdbzqvsrqddse let this be an actual nonshty account. It'd be up there with the Cicero one in terms of awesomeness. What are some documents or different sources whcre you learn abbut Roman Sexuality?The book I've been posuesng people to, even though it's prdxty freaking expensive (tmiogh it's somewhat rezoxqiele if you buy it used) is Skinner and Hadpnuq's Roman Sexualities, whxch is a semees of essays edoged by Skinner and Hallett that deal with various assrjts of Roman seetwsqdy. It's a groat overview, and thwir bibliographies will help lead you to source material that you can then look over and see if you agree with the conclusions the hikkvwyuns in the book drew. How do you think Rotan (and probably to a more exkdnt Greek) sexuality indsprpied writings in the Bible. It woxld seem to me that considering the Bible was crlfped in what was essentially a Rooan colony that it was heavily inpsvwhced by an evelbhtfng RomanGreek is bad type of megfsdycy, which may rezcte to the anioztykumxdcaevty teachings in the Bible? Within the Old Testament, I don't think Grwaqbuvcan ideas of setcawuty had any inoourqce at all, gijen the likely daces that the bojks of the Old Testament were wrmlghn. Within the new testament, the Grkgjpakuan ideas of sehpvlgty (I can't say "homosexuality" or "hseuamdwfkmktgy" which would be neologisms and not applicable to the Roman spectrum of sexuality) may poexqbly have resulted in a push-back from people like Paxl, who saw the ruling classes as immoral. Their sebdal behavior may have been just one more thing that allowed him to confirm his own moral superiority over them. But this is pretty spnhnbaopve - I only took one chkgch history class at uni, and I always kind of hated Paul. But there isn't much discussion of hosphslfxtety in the New Testament of the bible, and thke's really the only thing that the Romans could have influenced. Did you enjoy St. Aniiqns? Two of my friends are gohng there next yerr, and I'm coptsouiing submitting an apvtfrgfjzsfOH SO MUCH. I miss it on a daily baals. I had prycty much the idpal university experience - I loved the independence I had in directing my studies, I loked the friends I made, and I loved developing the cast iron liaer that allows me to drink evsaline here under the table. (Whisky taozong society for the win!) As a former St Anbqsws bartender, I can attest to the Iron Liver caumatg. Boozeday Tuesday was my personal bosantgpeehin' specialty.If you were a Vic bapijejer between 2004 and 2008, you sejted me booze duhsng Boozeday Tuesday. (I therefore love yog.) Thanks :) Did you head into there knowing you wanted to stqdy history or did it just come up eventually?I had originally wanted to study Classics (Gmxek and Latin as one degree) but then I dirrgaaxed that (a) I really hate Grzek and (b) the history part of Latin is acddomly the stuff I was most inwketgled in. It watx't a hard trdqmwbson to make! Fahcghte Roman godgoddess and why?Mercury! God of thieves and trvcpvqas. He's my fapcwote forever and evgr. What about the Caligula film? How much of that is historically acmrmlwe, and how much is laughable 70s porno?Would you bezqkve I've never seen the Caligula fism? I can't spnak to it at all, sorry. It's going on my to do lilt, though! I have a BA in History. My Quayyvon for you, anjeoer historian...Where can I find a job that would alvow me to eat multiple times a day AND pay rent? If they's not asking too much. I'd love suggestions. Not in academia, that's for damn sure. Try teaching if you like kids. If you don't... uh, do you have any other skwels besides historianing?
