The emperors of Rome could be wise, just and kind.
Theycould also be vindictive, cruel and insane.
Chances are most of these were rumors made up by politicalenemies or gossiping plebs.
But hey, just because they may not be truedoesnt mean theyre arent still entertainingly perverse.
Yes, Claudius didnt just make niece-marryinglegal, he made it patriotic!
- Sister-Fucking
Say what you want about Caligula, but he was really, reallygood at incest.
Hisother sisters, he was somewhat less fond of, and thus he only often prostitutedthem.
So he wasnt just a sister-fucker, but a sister-pimp.
Andwhen you do, thank Nero.
Better thanvending machines, thats for sure.
How did people know?
- Creating an Imperial Brothel
Caligula was fond of spending money, but not so good atmaking it.
Rest assured, those who enjoyed themselves oncredit eventually paid up, one way or another.
There were, of course, men who had beenspecially instructed to play their part.
If only all politicians were so… flexible when it came to balancing the budget.
- Making a Man His Wife
Im not talking about gay marriage here, at least notreally.
Eunuchs when having sex with men and women just isnt enough any more.
- Tiddlers
Emperor Tiberius loved to swim, and he apparently also lovedbeing pleasured by children.
Its like the worlds most perverted aquarium!
- Baby-Fucking
Im sorry, did you think Tiberius Tiddlers were bad?
Healso used to get blowjobs from babies.
And it was a contest, too!
Needless to say, when Claudius found out he was so depressed he ended up marrying his niece.
Oh, and had Messalina killed, obviously.
