It's kind of like the difference between marijuana in California vs marijuana in Singapore. Yes, you can get weed in Singapore, but in California it's not just legal, it's an essential business in a pandemic. Similarly, you can run an Epstein-style sex trafficking operation in the 2010s West, but in ancient Rome you don't have to hide it or worry about getting "caught."


There are the illegal services, yes.

But then there a lots of legal ones, like sex with a sex worker without getting an STD for life.

You don't have a car or plane so they will all be the same down the road in your small town aka Rome. Rome would have been very homogeneous with ethnicity (Yes it would)

You have better soap and washing powder now. Today you can chose someone with good dental.

The past wasn't this imaginary movie using 21st century props everyone thinks it was. It was shit. It was boring.

Rome was bush weed. Today is MDMA
