Horrific Life of a Male Concubine in the Roman Empire

- In the intriguing realm of ancient Roman matrimony, the concept of marriage diverged significantly from our modern understanding. Back then, a marital union was less about love and companionship and more about transactions and alliances. What's more, infidelity among husbands was not just commonplace; it was practically expected. These dalliances ranged from casual encounters with courtesans to more enduring affairs. While these extramarital liaisons often involved women, it was equally customary for men to engage in romantic trysts with their male counterparts.
Tiberius, the Jeffrey Epstein of ancient Rome
He wasn't the only one!
Isn’t Jeffrey Epstein straight?
Was thinking the same thing ..
Worse than that. Though Tiberius didn’t have an airplane.
the age of consent was 8.
Pederasty was very common; your father would hand you over to one of his friends or a high ranking male that he was a family friend to teach, and often having sexual relationships with them was not considered abuse. There was no such thing as gay or straight; sex between males was common and expected; sex with women was for procreation only.
@lglg6950 What you described was ancient Athens. Ancient Rome was different to this
@@Aussiemarco it was both
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pederasty
That's why Rome was full of female prostitutes lmao such ignorance.
sure sure, that's why Rome was filled with female prostitutes lmao ignorant
Being “not considered “ abuse doesn’t make it not abuse. The same way slavery was not considered wrong but it certainly was and is.
So gay exists from the beginning of time
No, pedophilia did.
Yesterday the press published the first ever images of two hump whales mating. It was two males. 😊
Also in other great apes
And, penquins.
Yes, gay has existed from the beginning of time.
It was a great video thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it
and...IN 2024, gay marriage is Still AN ISSUE?? For what reason? We certainly have bigger things to worry about right now! I don't care what, or who you are....as long as you do no harm to others.
They had same sex relation but they were still engaged with a woman and had children. That is the MAIN DIFFERENCE
@@luclafor Like that isn't a thing now??
@@luclaforyou are a troll 😂
And they wonder why ROME FELL???!
@@lynnmeyers10 What are you sayng?
There was a similar system during one of the Japanese Wakashu era (boy with older man, not two men together, which is fine). It does not make it right, but it might make us think about the nature of these relationships. He was not called Antonius, but Antinous.
When it comes to historical practices, don't forget "age of consent" is a comparatively modern, some would say very much a 'western' construct.
You can look at it as you like, but from a moral perspective, using underage people of either sex by ",owners" is/was wrong. Paganism was only about pleasing gods not morality except for heroes and then about loyalty and courage.
@@annepoitrineau5650 no one said it was ok. The ruling class could execute anyone for speaking against it. Use your common sense
Doesn't sound much different than happens behind some closed doors today....
Yes I always obey and do whatever the men wish to please them
This was cultural, Social and was also a military thing.
Marriages were delayed, but I wonder why. But then you had to have dowry money and stay in your class.
Homosexuality wasn't always/isnt always about some great longing. There are always opportunists even among heterosexual, as for instance in The Producers when one of them romances old ladies to get money to finance plays on Broadway.
Correct. Not born gay, heteromen abuse kids, and they, in turn, turn gay. It's the hetero that abuses.
People are the same everywhere in the end. What's acceptable culturally and how culture shapes desire changes. So a few people feel desires for children and far more for adolescents throughout history. But what exactly is encouraged or taboo changes over time and place.
This was interesting. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love knows no boundaries at all, today's society is so hell bent on what people do with each other, that society forgets about the real problems facing the human race, war,famine, species extinction and pollution of our seas, air, and land, it's pretty damn sad in my opinion
"love knows no boundaries"? lol more like lust knows no boundaries, real love respect boundaries

Best comment, thank you Robert, totally agree.
The comments about pedophiles, hearts in the videos and how disturbing or odd the videos are is surely the point that sexual norms and culture was VERY different to what we understand today post Christianity and Victorian hangovers.
Different times, different morals and ethics.
@@Erin-Thor Well, this is not the 3rd century. Our cultures, beliefs, and morals have advanced and evolved. We no longer want to watch people getting fed by lions in an arena. We don't want to watch two men fight to the death with swords. We don't wish to see that on national TV or the Arena because it is wrong. And today, we will not accept pedophilia because that, too, is wrong.
Hangovers and hangups...and if I think it's wrong, then YOU shouldn't be allowed to do it. And we think this is progress, that we're so refined and they were so barbaric.
@@kennethwilliams4874So are you telling we should let people practice pedophilia and slavery?
There are many things Romans and Greeks got wrong. Slavery and pedophila are two of those.
That video is full of historical mistakes : confusion between greek and roman sociology, ridiculous AI illustrations showing anachronistic costumes, big mistakes in character names (Antinous, NOT Antonius !!!), etc, etc, etc. The subject was interesting, but its treatment is catastrophic.
Interesting that Pythagorus, author of a famous theory in geometry about triangles, was established in a love triangle.
Different Pythagoras. The mathematician lived several centuries earlier.
This is all very interesting, but you basically talked about only the elite. What about the commoner? Was this behavior seen there as well or was it treated differently. Did male concubines only exist for the wealthy? Was it common practice outside those in power?
Good question we will dig into that in our next episode
@spocksvulcanbrain Concubines (both female and male) were for the wealthy. A visit to the local brothel for a quickie with a prostitute (both female and male) was for the poor.
what do you think? of course it was upper class who did this. Also, where are the lesbians in here? Sexist and abusive old Rome.
Farmers were too busy, probably with the land and their herds.
It seems it's usually in history the older richer people who start sexual cults. Boredom and secularism as well as narcissism are some causes.
Yeah I was wondering that too...but I feel like it was the wealthy that they could afford the boys
Nothing is New under the Sun.
Get used to it, LGBT have been here since the beginning of time.
It was commun to have lovers in the army.
I don't think the person who wrote this narration has the slightest knowledge having to do with Roman social conventions.
Love the hair styling
Yeah. Pretty cool. I have way straight hair that is prolly too floppy to look like a Greek or Roman.
Ai images are so freaky and uncanny looking, the part with young boys next to the old guys was uncomfortable to watch
Nice video, very interesting. But watch out...the name of Emperor Hadrian's lover was Antinous and not Antonius. It seems a small difference but instead it is remarkable, Antinous was a Greek name Antonius instead a Latin one. Nevertheless, keep up the good work!!!
Rome went there. Everything you can think of was done. Doesn't mean it was accepted or good. Remeber also, lead pipes everywhere! Lead poisoning is a huge factor here as well as inbreeding and corruption.
And, Pax Roma, architecture way ahead of its time, beautiful art and sculpture, no hang ups about sex. Everything you can think of was done. Doesn't mean it wasn't accepted or bad.
@ptownRandy1 doesn't mean it was accepted or good either.
Those men ruled Rome or Greece. Don't blame it on lead poisoning. They had great art, architecture, lots of
conquest. They were just abusers who did as they pleased with underlings. I doubt the children were much more than slaves for the most part in origin
Mentoring is debatable in my opinion. Noone knows what mothers and the serfs and lower classes thought. They don't care much, it seems.
@@lynnmeyers10 I never mentioned mentoring. Also, inbreeding and lead poisoning had a lot to do with the minds of Romans. But, that's not an excuse and I didn't mean to imply otherwise. The Romans, were sadistic and cruel and took pride in knowing how to prolong human pain. Sure they also had great art, and architecture and science and great laws, but that doesn't make up for the brutality. It's a complex dichotomy.
@@RobDogman Mentoring mentioned in video.
@user-ut1rg1xz3m well, fighting so many other countries. taking so many slaves, a philosophy much copied from Greeks.
No doubt they admired Athenian and Spartan culture.
The other corruption, I'm not sure where it came from. But they had a good many sexually perverse emperors at the end.
Maybe it has to do with totalitarianism or paganism, but Ancient Egyptians married siblings and like Romans, became gods. So, what can we deduce from that as far as origins?
I'm not sure, but Aztecs and Incas did it. I don't think North American indigenous did that. Hard to blame it on lead plumbing.??? Hmm? *Video mentioned mentoring).
The sad part is that this is very true in those days. Many people think that this stuff is made up, or over exaggerated. This video could have gone alot farther actually. Glad they didn't, though historians know the stories.
"Sad"? What exactly is "sad" about this? It's hot af.
Why is it sad? lmao 🤣
@@stevenledbetter80 you're right it's not that upsetting that humans used other humans for any kind of deplorable thing you can think of, or unbearable labor you can think of.

@@stevenledbetter80 imagine asking why child abuse is sad.
@@Serjo777 child sexual abuse and predator adult men.
This is what Saint Paul’s letter to the Romans was condemning. Not for being gay, but about married men straying from their wives.
And why foreigners should study local customs, instead of condemning them. What did Paul know!
That is incorrect.
@@jamest0m the point was that the customs were wrong according to Jesus.
@@lynnmeyers10 Jesus said nothing at all about the subject.
It should be considered that the shocking examples presented here do not represent the behavior of all Roman citizens.
The name of Hadrian's companion is "Antinous" not "Antonius". Please get it right, otherwise it takes credibility from your video.
Also paederasty was not the same in Greece and Rome, with adolescent Roman citizens were not supposed to be the object.

Yes, Antinous would have had a Greek name being from Anatolia.
Whether or not ancient Romans or Greeks categorized people into hetero, homo or bi - those realities existed then just as they do now. There were men and woman in the ancient world who wanted and had sexual relations only with their own gender because that is who they had sexual and emotional affection for. And there were people who felt this for both genders. And there were those who desired sexual relations exclusively with members of the opposite gender. That is just human reality. How anyone calls it, defines it or labels it doesn't change that fact.
How do we know that Nero didn't have an incestuous relationship with his mom?
How do you propose proving a negative of that kind?
I can't imagine proving he slept with mom, but he became incestuously murderous at some point.
So many were. So, it was. Nurture probably with a corrupt, immoral societal tyranny.
There are several old classic films that portray those times. Not history but rather good--Quo Vadis, Demetrius and the gladiators, Gladiator, THE RISE AN D FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, and more.🎉
Hadrians Ziehsohn hieß nicht "Antonius" sondern Antinoos, was einen anderen Wortstamm hat !
Mit der anglo-amerikanischen "Gelehrsamkeit" ist es auch hier ,wieder einmal nicht weit her ;)
This is history. All history is based on the beliefs of the time in which it happened. It is not disturbing. Love and sex is so fluid all over the globe, it cannot be judged by todays beliefs.
Also today's beliefs are Bee Ess ..
.. and go against human nature.
"love and sex"? you mean lust and rape
Great and very true observations, thank you Randolph.

Fabulous but this was all covered in the Starz show Spartacus.

Video title is misleading tbh. You had some examples of harsh emperors (individuals with too much power who were beyond reproach for their infractions) at the end of the video and some of what they did was horrific but most of the video and the overarching culture didn't seem to be as such.
Judaism and Christianity have always objected to this lifestyle. Romans and the Greeks worshipped several Gods and did not follow One God, or a set of commandments such as the Ten Commandments. This is the reason for the relationships between men, and not the theory that "they did not want their wives to give birth and die during birth".
Just human nature that's all it is
What? Child sexual abuse? I hope you don't mean THAT,
@@lynnmeyers10 no I didn't mean that way I'm not that it's been going on so long that it must be a part of you and nature I guess sorry if I defend you but I didn't mean way of sound
How does anyone know these things actually happened? Who documented it? I find it all rather dubious.
Ancient Romans did have a language and writing system. They documented a lot of what happened in their time.
I have come to think "same-gender" rather than same-sex is more appropriate. This is not to say the word "sex" is the problem. Many can't get past homoSEXual implying this is who and what we are all summed up and nicely wrapped gifts, bow and all. Being in a male/female relationship is not all wrapped in the sexual aspect. It should be seen as a species quality. Homo sapiens are, like all species, about reproduction. Neither heterosexual relationships should be labeled by sexual relations. And the same with homosexual relationships. We don't spend all day wrapped around each other with no other shared interests.
ANTONIUS 😅🤣🤣🤣 Hadrian's lovers name was ANTINOUS you genius
Where are the references? How do we know all this? Seems unlikely it was all recorded history.
Sickening how they treated children.
this was normal for girls so why wouldnt it be normal for boys?
Childhood was invented by the Victorians. Before the 19th century you were simply a young person, a tradition of exploitation that persists in many cultures today with child soldiers or child labourers working for a penny a day as examples.
They weren't children, woman, they were adolescents. Adolescents are not children.
The Romans had to choose between their slaves who were mainly northern barbarians to have😏🤤🍆🥵..
Caucasian Slave Owners did the exact same thing to the "male" and "female" children of the slaves.
The hearts floating around when talking about grown men and teenage boys was really odd, giving off pedophile vibes. It would be one thing to show them side by side like in the video. But the hearts flying around? That was disturbing.
We will do better next time
Yes it is disturbing they were way to young for that kind of relationship.
Grow up.
Nothing "disturbing" about that. What's disturbing is modern people's weird attitudes towards sexuality. Also p-philes are not into teenagers so wtf are you talking about?
Sexual attraction of men to teenage boys is not paedophilia. It is Hebephilia for young teenagers, Ephebophilia for middle aged teenagers and Teleiophilia for older teenagers. Paedophilia relates only to pre-pubescent individuals.
Love is the ultimate expression of our common humanity , and will always transcend social taboos , But their are times when you must walk away.
Lust is a deadly sin. It not only corrupts the spirit as with envy, wrath or pride but it also corrupts the physical body via various diseases. But if that is your particular predilection, well, good luck
balone! those creepy Romans and today's creepy society....wether poor or rich...had all the same desires....TWINKS!.
This is exact!!
Odd image to go with Tiberius, who was over 50 when he became emperor and famously had for years suffered from disfiguring facial skin issues.

I always figured the reason Vito acted so homophobic was because he was hiding his predilections behind a facade of rough and tough machismo. Seems very rampant among many of them ;-)
If you remember it was Phil Leotardo who acted overly and violently homophobic when the truth about Vito emerged.
From early history to today, children have had a right to their own bodies, not be sexually dictated to, or exploited by adults. Period.
Yet history has always shown, how powerless children have been, by class or by poverty, as the most vulnerable in society… to this day. And screw that BS about how advantageous it was for the children…..
This is a mortal sin that plagues mankind, to this day.
Bien dicho.
Id like to see the historical references for these assumptions.
Because of this depravity and decadent lifestyles Rome fell.
No fool
So will Mmrrrca fall. Who’s more depraved and decadent than DJT, aka Jesus?
Actually it was the barbarians and the lead and hot baths reducing fertility…
jack etc: Read some history, think about it some more, and then come back and see whether you still think this comment is accurate.
I'll give you a couple of hints:
On which day did the "depravity and decadent lifestyles" suddenly become too much?
Did the Roman Empire grow or shrink? When and why?
@@Nai61a >> I wouldn’t say gayness killed the Roman Empire…by itself.
But what disturbs me about these "histories" of ancient Roman depravities is that what they miss is that other nations peoples had just as many deoravities and even worse. Compared to which the Romans were civilized. The only reason we know about the romandy is bc they had a highly developed system of writing.
Fair point.

Stop conflating sexuality with gender! Gah!!
These things still happen today but behind closed doors. In specialty fields like art, acting, dancing, figure skating, minor/ major league basball, football and basketball, and so on.
Modern understanding has diverged from the ancient. And Hadrian's young beloved was Antinous, not Antonius. If you're really interestedin this, look up the Sacred Band of Thebes, for the Greek precedents of the ROman practices. THe biggest difference is that in the wealthy countries nowadays machinery does a very great deal of the heavy lifting that used to have to be done by human beings, mules, oxen, elephants, etc
Did everyone in the Roman Empire have those malformed, AI drawn hands?
A challenge with inter generational intimacy of ancient times, contemporary predators point is out to make sense of and justify their abuse. That being said - mutually consenting, informed, constructive behavior is their own business.

That's why Rome fell. No empire can survive normalized degeneracy.
The person who posted and wrote this clip has missed points. He omitted to add crucial point. Homosexuality was not a accepted in Roman society. There is a story of a young Roman Officer who was propositioned by his commander. He responded by killing him with his sword and was praised for it by Sulla or Marius? Augustus Caesar passed laws forbidding Roman citizens (nobility or senators) from the "vice of the Greeks" through Greeks theatre. As a background pedestry was considered dishonourable in Athens and I have read in Plato's Symposium a man should not give presents or groom a boy but wait until he had face hair. This Greek vice was copied by some Roman admirers of Greek culture after they conquered Greece. Roman male citizens were considered dishonoured if they permitted a male to sodomise them. They therefore used slaves as the passive partner because they were not equals, they owned them, they could not refuse and they had the power of life and death over them. They also used castrated boys, teens or males in the same way. Hadrian has sex with whom he wished and Antinous was a castrated teenage boy. After Emperor Nero allegedly kicked his second wife Sabina to death in 65 A.D., he met a slave boy named Sporus who looked like her. So Nero had him castrated and took him as his bride. Which was listed amongst his many vices that led to his assassination.
Tiberius collected and used male, female, eunuchs, boys and girls slaves in his villa on Capri. He called the children who commited sexual acts in his pool his "little minnows". Seutonius the Roman historian related these stories to illustrate the sordid dishonour of some of the Roman emperors. I suspect his presentation of this subject has a personal agenda. Of course erotic use of others in Roman society is about use, abuse, control and instant gratification made possible by the commoditisation of humans as chattel slaves.
A concubine? Like what elected politicians are to the donors who bought them their positions.
Please mention Sporus and Sabina please
Why are we talking about Greek customs if the video is supposed to be about Roman ones?
Because it was more of a custom in Greece and Sparta. Even when men there were married. I knew about this long ago. Infact it put me off the film Zorba the Greek.
The Roman Empire included the area that today is Greece.
@@lynnmeyers10 you're missing my point. If you're talking about Roman customs and you start talking about Greek customs, which were very different, and using Greek words, which Romans didn't use in this situation, to discuss how Romans did things, then you are being misleading. You have to at least preface it by saying, "hey, by the way, right now we're talking about what Greek custom was like and the Greek words for it". Because the two countries did it in entirely different ways.
@@tubulardude44 you're entirely missing my point. The video about Romans starts talking about Greek customs, which were entirely different and between the same social caste, and using Greek words, which were not used in Rome for this situation, without prefacing that they are talking about Greeks in that moment, so that makes it sound like they're talking about Roman custom. But they weren’t, They were talking about Greek custom using Greek words, which is entirely misleading and inaccurate. All I was saying is, if you're going to start talking about Greek stuff, you need to actually say "by the way, right now I'm talking about Greek stuff, not Roman stuff", because it's not accurate to make it sound like Romans did it the same way, because they did not.

@@wulfsorenson8859Partially true. Unlike the Greeks it was considered a vice but it was a relatively mild one. Of course we're talking about the decadent upper classes here, a small percentage of the population. They would of course have regarded the concept of monogamy as bizarre and unnatural. On the other hand that became a huge selling point allowing the tiny cult of Christianity to grow so explosively as Roman women, being women, naturally liked the idea of monogamy.

Yes a Roman adult HAD to be the top. The old line about Julius Ceaser being "a husband to women and a wife to men" was said by his political enemies as a smear campaign. As a teen though it was as this says to be in a relationship with a richer, more powerful man as long as it ended at the appropriate age.

Very limited understanding of M-M sex, which need not be penetrative at all, nor limited to fixed 'roles'. And what of the concept of a 'power bottom'? Anal intercourse has historically been used as a means of contraception in heterosexual relations. I don't see that a life providing education, status, bed and board, and a sexual outlet would be regarded as 'horrific' in any epoch.
"My son isn't racist, i have a black friend"
wtf?

Bravo, thank you Robert.
So Julius was a sub bottom 😮
Probably that was not compatible with his self-image. No one cared who Trajan or Hadrian boinked but “bottoming,” for them would have been political suicide.

The thing most forget here is that Rome destroyed itself through it's excessive, extreme, no consequences thinking. Most will say that love knows no boundaries, but forget the basic truth on what exactly happened to Rome, and then considering where we are today, Are we repeating the same acts? It is easy to say that this act, or that act cause the fall of Rome, and maybe not just one act did, but combined, they all did. Maybe it all comes down to what is morally acceptable to each one of us, some of us believe in GOD's word, some don't. I do know this though, If believing in GOD and his word, is the correct thing to do at the end, believers will be okay and non believers won't, but in case we are wrong on this, believers are not at risk of anything.
@chips1a You need to read a good history book. Rome reached its peak under Constantine, the Emperor who made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. Rome’s decline and fall happened when it was a Christian Empire, full of Christians worshipping the Trinity in thousands of churches. Even though they were Christians for the last 146 years, God didn’t help them.

Así es .
Well Roman Empire lasted more than a thousands of years. Roman Empire eventually became Christian and move the capital to Constantinople. The Empire was eventually divided into east and west , the west Roman empire fell due to poor management and east live longer as the Byzantine Empire and ended when the Muslims invaded the Constantinople. Therefore it isn't the reason thought.
