After describing women's position in Roman society, this book surveys the crypto-sexual satisfaction derived by Romans from a range of activities: the sadistic treatment of slaves, savage public executions involving crucifixion and the mauling of naked, unarmed prisoners by wild beasts, and almost incredible mass-gladiatorial combats.

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.

DR. OTTO KIEFER was a German Scholar in the early part of the twentieth century.
