Andy Macrae ahhhhh.. I smell what your stepping in. America, cough cough.. being born American is a free, front row ticket to the greatest circus you ever did see. That is if you aren’t wearing the standard issued blinders
You heard that there’s a public statue of Pan f*€king a goat. I mean it’s like making a statue of a centaur f*€king a horse. What’s more disturbing is that ancient Romans were okay with f*€king goats.
and? that was the culture. sure we may think it’s wrong because that’s what we’ve been taught to believe. they didn’t have the civility and or technology that we do today which serve as deterrents for people to do this.
That happens when there's no moral or sense of regret... remember everything that romans and greeks did was because the gods make them did it. The guilt came with christianity before that western civilization doesn't have that feeling. They blame the gods and everything was find... so is easy being that way when you don't feel sorry for anything.
We are in the 2nd age the first age where the height of civilisation is at its peak at this time in the world And they collsapse because of divide Plague, diversity And corruption Now look what’s happening Kinda similar
Rome never died. we kept it's ideas with us. We built on top of it and expanded upon the same model. All western nations are built on top of Rome. Yes even the ones in lands that Rome had not discovered 2000 years ago.
I love how they guess at history. They are most often incorrect with every prediction. In little Yellowstone the Museum had on display (for a number of years) an early sex toy. Because it had three carved rings and a tapered hole; the Seattle scientists/ archaeologists said it was not merely an early female sex toy, but the three rings and the hole suggested it was for deflowering virgins. It took an old farmer to walk in and explain that what they really had was an old tap for a wine barrel. They had to remove the display.
Because history and all education is only there to enforce propaganda of the nation ... all education is only to manipulate the minds of students into perceiving the world in the teachers image! Just as Albert Einstein has said... the mind IS a terrible thing, to waste!
@@DJAnonyMIX No it does not. You should think twice and three times before you write a comment like that. Islam does not support the abuse of children. And all that you've heard and seen is just an Islamophobic fake-information, Sex in Islam without marriage and Homosexuality is forbidden and the women marriage by force of course is forbiddin and what about sexual children abuse of course is forbiddin. If you don't believe me just Google it and look about it in trusted sites and you will believe it. Romans were pagans and you must not compare it with an Abrahamic religion such as Islam and Judaism.

Actually a Roman family was judged on how well their slaves were kept. Households who respected their slaves had a much better reputation than those who did not. Some slaves were even released by their owners, but chose to remain with the family and continue serving them if they had been well looked after.

+Onyx Stone I don't know where you get your information from, but it's kinda wrong. Bestiality and incest were still taboo (otherwise I don't know what the point of Oedipus Rex was). Bestiality was even used as a form of punishment. In the Hellenistic religion women were priestesses, not sex slaves (what?). Do you think that a goddess like Artemis, who was conceived as virgin, would allow men as priests at her altar?
Re Slave sex: I knew an old lady. She told me that one of her neighbours in Canada (Winnipeg) was basically a slave. She was allowed out of the house with money. To buy groceries. Every penny was checked. He would go on yearly vacations to warm places. She was left behind. He kept track of the bills. She outlived him. The lady I knew helped her handle the bills and basic money management after he died. Freedom. She'd never had its hole married. Slavery can happen anywhere. Didn't the Romans drink out of lead cups? That could explain a lot of mental breakdown. At least they had the aqueducts to bring water into the city. Probably the reason they were able to conquer so much of the known world: they had a leg up in everyone else because they had better access to "safer" water.
Basically Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. The degradation begins as you climb then claw up The ladder of wealth, prestige and power, so that if you do reach the pinnacle, you’ve got to be one in a million twisted, perverted, insatiable, nasty member of the ruling class. You’ve likely been traumatized, betrayed, and humiliated along the way, so when you finally arrive, wiTh Carte Blanche access to whatever you desire, well you know they always gonna wanna take it up A notch. Eventually that broken morality seeps down into the masses and then you have self-destruction
A minority of priests get used as ''evidence'' that the whole church is bad? What a vile place the anglosphere is. AS bunch of people that keep regurgitating the clerical sex abuse to push political aims.

Civilizations then were very different from today. Morality had a different compass and therefore one cannot judge them based on the social practises we have today.
Gio Gio ***** No what you're implying is it's rampant or something...I addressed the author saying these kind of predators of the ancient world were keeping their culture by keeping young slaves like this....pedophilia is a medical condition and rare.
Well I wish the teachers of history were talking about this it would make things more interesting. They never talked about sex in our classes only what they achieved
About the Roman emperors, they used lead pipes going to the palace, so the water they drank, and the bath houses were all giving nobles lead poisoning. It was mostly the emperors that came in the later part of the empire that were extremely messed up.
"Almost every single emperor to rule Rome was categorically insane..." (10:24). Really? You've studied the biographies of all the emperors from Augustus to Romulus Augustulus? I sincerely doubt it. Stop exaggerating.
William Benner Well often ruling nations demands ways of thinking and policies that are unfamiliar to the common folk. Imagine being a ruler of any nation throughout ancient history or modern and you'd understand why they did the things they did. (Not implying their were some rulers who weren't insane)
slaves did have rights in Rome. Clearly nothing huge but they did, you could even be tried for mistreating one. In addition the practice of freeing slaves was the norm and their kids would receive citizenship. Many went on to make fortunes and did well enough to have the fact reported in historiography, normally citing their lack of taste as "new rich". How true any statement is regarding slavery in Rome depends on the period you are looking at, but ultimately slaves saw their rights increase through time.
I know. This video is anti-Roman propaganda. Basically saying because there were a few weirdo emperors means every Roman was bad and Rome was a bad place
Dragon Soul I use to post on Daand the only pics I posted were of landscapes - and i knew many who did the same - all g- rated - depends on what you look for
it's saddening to see the default setting of human nature is this. i don't even want to imagine earlier times before civilization was ubiquitous. perhaps the archeologists are keeping secrets even worse than these ?
+cinnamongirl3121 Caligula was a nut case. Yes, he slept with his sister, and enjoyed pimping her out. He was supposed to help a priest ritualy kill an animal, but instead he killed the priest. He took a whole legion and marched them to the sea for no reason and then walked around picking up shells. Just a nut case.
Robert Pirlot and Alyathaean: The Ancient Romans had lead water pipes, lead being plentiful and easily worked. It definitely did cause harm. They also had three types of water coming in to their homes: cold, hot, and perfumed. Imagine that.
Saying Rome ran on slavery is wrong since 85-88% of the population of the Republic and Empire were not slaves. Half the slaves worked in many trades as tied labor and as domestics, teachers, doctors...and the rest on farms or estates. Owning a slave(s) was like owning a high end car. Industrialization and domestic appliances make slavery pointless unless you live in some parts of the world like Saudi Arabia.

Now I understand why the Germanic tribes defeated the Romans!
@Abu Troll al cockroachistan No? Eastern Roman Empire was a flourishing and superior counterpart to the Western Roman Empire. You could also say Alexander conquered Persia when it was weakened and decaying as well. Subjective.
But not before the Romans destroyed Jerusalem... as Christ said they would. Gods judgement is perfect. He used wicked people, to punish wicked people, and then punished the wicked punishers lol. This is why your father said "i don't care what your SISTER did, what you both did was WRONG" Same logic applies to all of this. It is all written brothers and sisters ^_^
Its categorized as a mental illness, classified as pedophilia, in today's society. We are a product of our culture, as another commenter said. The legal age was 12, still, we see it as unacceptable but back then it was okay and, probably, most likely, normal.
Child molesting and slavery is wrong no matter the period in time it took place in. Im sick of people using that lame excuse to not judge wrong doing for what it is
I totally agree, finally some common sense & honesty. It's so nauseatingly ridiculous to try to excuse Rome's horrible history by simply pointing out that everybody else was doing it too. Pedophilia, slavery, corruption, murder, oppression, etc. are just plain wrong no matter who, how, where or when it took place. Even in the ancient world, plenty of people were against these disgusting vices. Many died fighting against the Romans because it was offensive to human dignity & freedom. Sadly there are many idiotic Roman fanboys who can't seem to grasp this simple concept.
The virgins were off limits to all Roman men. As is evident by looking at Roman history, emperors often ignored such rules. Elagabalus, for instance, married a Vestal Virgin in an attempt to produce divine children. It didn't help his reputation any. Faustina, the wife of emperor Marcus Aurelius, who was so aroused by gladiators her husband consulted a soothsayer about the situation. This oracle suggested Faustina have sex with a gladiator (she did), and that the gladiator in question be killed on top of her and that she bathe in his blood to satisfy, and cleanse herself of, her lust (this happened). She then had sex with Marcus Aurelius immediately afterward.
Beastiality was not only a favorite practice, but a popular form of public entertainment. Companies would train animals and human slaves to have sex with each other. The acts would be done as openers for gladiator combat and such. The animals included horses, zebras and even giraffes.
Well imagine a time-traveller back in ancient Rome exclaiming "Gee this city is full of pervs!!!" And a Roman passing by starting looking around responding: "Perverts? U mad? I see only healthy people happy screwing all around!" 😀🤣🤣🤣
I've read some Roman writings they never dare touch upon, even in these videos about how decadent the Romans were. They were actually ten times worse. In cruelty and perversion, they had no peers. Simply abominable acts were commonplace. Whatever you were into, you could do, as long as you didn't anger someone powerful.
'Twould seem to be to where we're headed now. The Execrables (opposites to their loathed "Deplorables" as-dubbed) seem to fit this part-line of yours: "In cruelty and perversion, they . . ." but, all the while believing themselves exemplary of that imagined cynosure of kindness, understanding, acceptance of opposing views re matters, goodness, patience plus all the rest of that famous drill they sell. In toto as taken however, sounding far more like a mass schizophrenic/psychopathic pack, capable of justifying any form of criminal, most cruel act. The dividing line separating our wild animal selves from taught, civil demeanor and behavior, IS tissue-thin.
Oh no they didnt. How dare you drag the motherland through the mud like that. Britain's are scientifically proven to be more civilized at the genetic level.
"those Romans who didn't fancy young boys were generally considered a little odd. A belief that only vanished when Christianity finally took hold." Oh no, it didn't vanish. The love of young boys is alive and well in Iraq...
Wow Simon, awesome list - makes for pretty shocking viewing. Still, I bet that there would be quite a lot of ancient civilizations who had some deviant sexual practices though. Keep up the great work with Top Tenz!
Damn literally 99% of men in ancient civilizations were homosexuals .. The Samurai, all of Mesopotamia, Greeks ( even Spartans lol), and Romans of course. I guess men are natural gay to an extent, they just like being in the 'dominant' position lol.
I cannot disagree more, the world has gone mad more like it. All this depravity ended the Roman Empire and it will end ours soon too. Also i love when people pull numbers out there arse.

Basically Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. The degradation begins as you climb then claw up The ladder of wealth, prestige and power, so that if you do reach the pinnacle, you’ve got to be one in a million twisted, perverted, insatiable, nasty member of the ruling class. You’ve likely been traumatized, betrayed, and humiliated along the way, so when you finally arrive, wiTh Carte Blanche access to whatever you desire, well you know they always gonna wanna take it up
A notch. Eventually that broken morality seeps down into the masses and then you have self-destruction

The only mistake of Marcus Aurelius was not purging the Praetoran Guard with his army.

It was probably under Marcus Aurelius that the Roman empire started to decline

If I had to live in ancient times, I hope I'd lived in Persia. No slavery allowed there and human right had been fully declared and practiced.
What about orgies ?
@@djimma5080 what about em
Civilizations then were very different from today. Morality had a different compass and therefore one cannot judge them based on the social practises we have today.
Lol the Persians practiced slavery though, not to the same extant as the Romans. What do you think happened to the rebel Egyptians and Ionians?

Pedophiles everywhere. Smh
Pedophile means actual attraction to small children. It's not as common as you think.
V Ling However common it is, it is a perversion. duh
Gio Gio ***** No what you're implying is it's rampant or something...I addressed the author saying these kind of predators of the ancient world were keeping their culture by keeping young slaves like this....pedophilia is a medical condition and rare.
V Ling No! I said "however common, it's a perversion"
Random Jasmine Just like San Francisco and Hollywood today?
Well I wish the teachers of history were talking about this it would make things more interesting. They never talked about sex in our classes only what they achieved
About the Roman emperors, they used lead pipes going to the palace, so the water they drank, and the bath houses were all giving nobles lead poisoning. It was mostly the emperors that came in the later part of the empire that were extremely messed up.
"Almost every single emperor to rule Rome was categorically insane..." (10:24). Really? You've studied the biographies of all the emperors from Augustus to Romulus Augustulus? I sincerely doubt it. Stop exaggerating.
Oh, OK. I thought you meant it.
Personally I think most rulers throughout history where insane, including most of our presidents.
all hail emperor trump lol
sick bastard King*
William Benner Well often ruling nations demands ways of thinking and policies that are unfamiliar to the common folk. Imagine being a ruler of any nation throughout ancient history or modern and you'd understand why they did the things they did. (Not implying their were some rulers who weren't insane)
Ancient times makes ours look tame!

'Pausing only to invent the whoopy cushion' 😂😂🤣 i cracked up
slaves did have rights in Rome. Clearly nothing huge but they did, you could even be tried for mistreating one.
In addition the practice of freeing slaves was the norm and their kids would receive citizenship.
Many went on to make fortunes and did well enough to have the fact reported in historiography, normally citing their lack of taste as "new rich".
How true any statement is regarding slavery in Rome depends on the period you are looking at, but ultimately slaves saw their rights increase through time.
MANY ... lol idiot
I know. This video is anti-Roman propaganda. Basically saying because there were a few weirdo emperors means every Roman was bad and Rome was a bad place

it's saddening to see the default setting of human nature is this. i don't even want to imagine earlier times before civilization was ubiquitous. perhaps the archeologists are keeping secrets even worse than these ?
So the movie Caligula really captured the spirit of the times.
+cinnamongirl3121 Caligula was a nut case. Yes, he slept with his sister, and enjoyed pimping her out. He was supposed to help a priest ritualy kill an animal, but instead he killed the priest. He took a whole legion and marched them to the sea for no reason and then walked around picking up shells. Just a nut case.
+lordofdarkdudes
I heard it was because Caligula claimed he won a war with Neptune and wanted the sea shells as trophies or something like that...
Maybe it was the heavy metal in their wine? Lead.
Robert Pirlot as I know there wasn't enough in it to cause any harm
Robert Pirlot and Alyathaean: The Ancient Romans had lead water pipes, lead being plentiful and easily worked. It definitely did cause harm.
They also had three types of water coming in to their homes: cold, hot, and perfumed. Imagine that.
Saying Rome ran on slavery is wrong since 85-88% of the population of the Republic and Empire were not slaves. Half the slaves worked in many trades as tied labor and as domestics, teachers, doctors...and the rest on farms or estates. Owning a slave(s) was like owning a high end car. Industrialization and domestic appliances make slavery pointless unless you live in some parts of the world like Saudi Arabia.
Now I understand why the Germanic tribes defeated the Romans!
You say that like the germans were not perverts .
It was the Huns who really did the damage.
@Abu Troll al cockroachistan No? Eastern Roman Empire was a flourishing and superior counterpart to the Western Roman Empire. You could also say Alexander conquered Persia when it was weakened and decaying as well. Subjective.
Atilla didn't really lose, maybe just one battle, but it was more a inconclusive push-pack as explained in this video. He was virtually unstoppable.
But not before the Romans destroyed Jerusalem... as Christ said they would. Gods judgement is perfect. He used wicked people, to punish wicked people, and then punished the wicked punishers lol.
This is why your father said "i don't care what your SISTER did, what you both did was WRONG"

Danny Moore to me that says the majority if them probably only pretended to be sexually attracted to young boys for appearances sake
Its categorized as a mental illness, classified as pedophilia, in today's society. We are a product of our culture, as another commenter said. The legal age was 12, still, we see it as unacceptable but back then it was okay and, probably, most likely, normal.
Child molesting and slavery is wrong no matter the period in time it took place in.
Im sick of people using that lame excuse to not judge wrong doing for what it is
amen, wrong is never right except in this modern rendition of opposite is right
They are not saying it is wrong but just pointing out the changes it views and beliefs.
I totally agree, finally some common sense & honesty. It's so nauseatingly ridiculous to try to excuse Rome's horrible history by simply pointing out that everybody else was doing it too. Pedophilia, slavery, corruption, murder, oppression, etc. are just plain wrong no matter who, how, where or when it took place. Even in the ancient world, plenty of people were against these disgusting vices. Many died fighting against the Romans because it was offensive to human dignity & freedom. Sadly there are many idiotic Roman fanboys who can't seem to grasp this simple concept.
It's not supposed to be a justification, bc calling it morally wrong blurs the more important points of history we're supposed to remember
Except wrong and right aren't universal concepts and are different from place to place and from time to time.
“Top shelf lad mags” as an American hearing this phrase for the first time, all I can say is: brilliant

The virgins were off limits to all Roman men. As is evident by looking at Roman history, emperors often ignored such rules. Elagabalus, for instance, married a Vestal Virgin in an attempt to produce divine children. It didn't help his reputation any.
Faustina, the wife of emperor Marcus Aurelius, who was so aroused by gladiators her husband consulted a soothsayer about the situation. This oracle suggested Faustina have sex with a gladiator (she did), and that the gladiator in question be killed on top of her and that she bathe in his blood to satisfy, and cleanse herself of, her lust (this happened). She then had sex with Marcus Aurelius immediately afterward.
Yet people look to ancient rome as if this was the pinnacle of civilization. Enough said.
What does sex got to do with it ?🎶
One has nothing to do with the other .
Beastiality was not only a favorite practice, but a popular form of public entertainment. Companies would train animals and human slaves to have sex with each other. The acts would be done as openers for gladiator combat and such. The animals included horses, zebras and even giraffes.
As mentioned at 6:00 there was in fact nothing perverse about it as perversion is always defined by the standards of the society
I can’t think of any era I would want to have lived in.
What about the decades from 1980 to early 2010s?

Well imagine a time-traveller back in ancient Rome exclaiming "Gee this city is full of pervs!!!"
And a Roman passing by starting looking around responding: "Perverts? U mad? I see only healthy people happy screwing all around!" 😀🤣🤣🤣
I've read some Roman writings they never dare touch upon, even in these videos about how decadent the Romans were. They were actually ten times worse. In cruelty and perversion, they had no peers. Simply abominable acts were commonplace. Whatever you were into, you could do, as long as you didn't anger someone powerful.
'Twould seem to be to where we're headed now.
The Execrables (opposites to their loathed "Deplorables" as-dubbed) seem to fit this part-line of yours: "In cruelty and perversion, they . . ." but, all the while believing themselves exemplary of that imagined cynosure of kindness, understanding, acceptance of opposing views re matters, goodness, patience plus all the rest of that famous drill they sell.
In toto as taken however, sounding far more like a mass schizophrenic/psychopathic pack, capable of justifying any form of criminal, most cruel act.
The dividing line separating our wild animal selves from taught, civil demeanor and behavior, IS tissue-thin.
So pretty much today's world or tbh any world at any time.
you do realize every ancient empire did the same things as Rome including Britain
Oh no they didnt. How dare you drag the motherland through the mud like that. Britain's are scientifically proven to be more civilized at the genetic level.
