"Roman names" include women's names, which up until the High Empire they didn't so much have. All a man's daughters had the same name, that being the family nomen. So Claudius has daughters Clodia, Clodia, Clodia, and Clodia. In practice, they might be called Clodia the Elder, Clodia the Younger, and Clodia the Third. They could also be Clodia Offred Metellus'sWife.

Still beats being an Athenian woman all to hell and gone.

maybe im getting the timing wrong but during the dark ages after the romans left western europe in britian we were all like "what titaines madeth thine roadf and bathf, wither they gods or man?" and the romans were literally just chilling out in Turkey the whole time.

did nobody tell us?
Turns out communications networks collapse without human investment, who knew?

I highly, highly recommend John Clarke's Roman Sex, which will tell you a lot about how Romans categorized sex -- what counted as "manly", for instance -- and what they considered appropriate and inappropriate. Also lots of pictures.

Probably Victoria for both.

Congress of Vienna FTW. Everybody was (A) sleeping with each other and (B) spying on each other.
