[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 188145, member: 1131"] Greetings! Mmadsen!:) Oh, man, you should see some of the stuff I've read about Roman history concerning *that*!--It certainly isn't found in the standard school textbook, but it is recorded reliably in scholarly works none the less. There were graffitti scribbled on city walls by women proclaiming their undying love and passion for this gladiator or that gladiator. Wealthy aristocratic Roman women would pay large sums of money to have a top-performing champion visit her for amorous laissons, and the women would also lavish fine gifts of gold, weapons, slave-girls, and so on, to their champion lover. Meanwhile, in the arena itself, I've read where various women in the stadium seating would cry out in exctasy and the crowds would often break out into episodes of public sexual engagements in response to the frenzy of the gladiators in the arena! Of course, the Coliseum and other provincial arena's were also the location of multitudes of enthusiastic prostitutes that would throng the hallways and various arena levels, offering themselves to the screaming, exultant crowds throughout the festivities, and especially at the intermission. Of course, in Roman society, there were also frequent scandals about such and such's daughter having orgies with a group of Gladiators, or the wife of Senator so and so has been having a long-term affair with the Gladiator Serevus, or what have you. If you can possibly imagine it, there were Roman women who probably did it. Gladiators were in quite the role of rock-stars, or wildly popular celebrities. They had cult-like groups of fans, with many women followers, that would follow them around whenever they were permitted out of the compound area, or when they were in transit to another city for a different event. Sometimes, the various Lanista's would permit a short guarded excursion into the city for trusted gladiators, which not only rewarded them for victory in the arena, but the Lanista would also gain handsome profits, and the girls would get to have a fun orgy with their champion, which would in turn spread the champion's popularity, which would in turn lead to more people attending the Games, which meant more profit as well. So, it seemed to work out for everyone concerned!:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
