A Sexual History of Rome

Caligula used to ride around Rome with his sister-bride, “masturbating with one hand and hurling gold coins into the crowds with the other.”

Caligula’s nephew was an emperor at 16-years-old and lost his virginity to his mum, which is a pretty strong recipe for madness. Rumor had it that, “whenever he rode in a litter with his mother, he had incestuous relations with her, which were betrayed by the stains on his clothing.”

He [Elagabalus] also would act as a prostitute in the imperial palace and “send out agents to search for those who [have] particularly large organs and bring them to the palace in order that he might enjoy their vigour.”

-VICE

Here is one I made up:

"In 23AD 300 Carthaginian elephants were slaughtered so their stuffed phalluses could be given as offerings to Dionysus during a royal orgy".
