Book Synopsis Roman Sex by : John Clarke

Download or read book Roman Sex written by John Clarke and published by Echo Point Books & Media. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman Sex provides a fresh and provocative account of ancient Roman sexual practices. Featuring 114 illustrations, including 95 full-color plates, Roman Sex explains for the first time a wealth of newly discovered sexual art including many paintings, sculptures, and vases hidden away in the world's "secret museums."John R. Clarke, one of the world's foremost authorities on ancient Rome, puts these works of art back into their original context--whether in the home, brothel, or banquet table--and reveals ancient Roman attitudes on sex and sexuality.The first Women's Liberation movement also took place in this period, and Clarke explains how and when it came about. He shows how and why the Roman man was a bisexual creature, alternating his affections between women and men, and how society treated the entrenched homosexual. Lesbian sex, illustrated by startling new discoveries at Pompeii, also gets full treatment.Romans, both rich and poor, proudly displayed images in their homes that today we would hide away. Clarke takes the reader into a society markedly different from ours in its attitudes toward sex. With all its quirks, it was a sexually tolerant society that encouraged the creation and open display of erotic art. Roman Sex will appeal to any reader who wants to understand this culture, which was in many ways the forerunner of our own.
