Book excerpt: First published in 2001. The psychological basis of the Roman Empire was a ruthless, frequently sadistic 'will to power'. This impulse is highly manifest in Ancient Roman attitudes towards sex. After describing women’s position in Roman society, Keifer skilfully surveys the crypto-sexual satisfaction derived by Romans from a range of activities.
