Rather than expanding the empire, he actually pulled back the boundaries to a more defendable position. Historically the most high profile gay roman relationship included a Roman emperor.Įmporer Hadrian was a convention-bucking emperor before you even consider he was gay. | Photo: ITV2 Bromans Emperor Hadrian defied society with his gay love In the poem ‘The Love of Boys’ he talks about snatching a kiss from his lover in the Italian countryside to win his affections.

That’s of course when they weren’t undressing, bathing, sweating, getting a massage or just resting in the nude.īaths weren’t just a luxury but a necessity for Roman society. Men, in particular, would use the communal bathhouses as social places and locations to hold meetings and seal business deals along with generally discussing their wealth. And no, it wasn’t just about showing off how many inches you had. You can still see a particularly famous example of this set-up today at a fort at Hadrian’s Wall.īut of course, Roman baths were another opportunity to show off your dominance. Toilets weren’t individual stalls but communal benches with holes cut in. Whether at the fort – or out on patrol, the Roman army shared communal toilet spaces. One example is the way they would go to the toilet. The Romans often behaved in ways we would find awkward or embarrassing today. The ultimate pride, was to be a master to many slaves | Photo: ITV2 Bromans The Roman Army got weirdly intimate They didn’t necessarily consider this to be a disgrace, but it was not as widely accepted. Louis Crompton, suggests in his book Homosexuality and Civilisation that Roman gay relationships were completely focused on this dominance and the master vs slave dynamic.īut it gets even more complicated if your bottom was ‘free born’ – and therefore not a slave. The master would use his property as he saw fit. And for many, that meant a life of slavery.Īnd whether it was a sexual situation or not – the will or care of the slave was not really considered. With all this newly conquered land came new subjects to boss around. The Roman army was obsessed with winning and showing off their dominance | Photo: ITV2 Bromans Masters and slaves Rome achieved this dominance through centuries of ruthless wars and the subjugation of its neighbors which the Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche refers to as ‘the will to power.’Īnd this power obsession fed into all parts of Roman society, especially sex.

Instead, they focused their prejudice on the submissive or feminine, or the bottom in gay relationships. They were essentially indifferent to sexual orientation. While they didn’t necessarily punish homosexuality, they did look down on anyone who was the bottom in gay relationships.Įvidence suggests Roman society didn’t even see sexuality as a spectrum like we do today. But they also didn’t exactly admire it altogether either. The Romans didn’t see being gay as bad or sinful. Gay sex in Ancient Rome was not only easy to come by, it was an accepted part of being a Roman – even in the army.
