The cryptic figure of the Cinaedus recurs in both the literature and daily life of the Roman world. His afterlife - the equally cryptic catamite - appears to be well and alive as late as Victorian England. But who was the Cinaedus? Should we think of a real group of individuals, or is the term but a scare name to keep at bay any form of threating otherness? This book, the first coherent collection of essays on the topic, addresses the matter and fleshes out the complexity of a debate that concerns not only Roman Cinaedi but the foundations of our theoretical approach to the study of ancient sexuality

Comment faisait-on l'amour dans la Rome impériale ? Certainement pas de manière aussi débridée que dans bien des péplums et des séries télé ! Car même si le "bon" citoyen était un dominateur bisexuel et l'esclave un objet, il y avait des règles et les femmes nées libres pouvaient divorcer, voire devenir de redoutables cougars. Selon son habitude, Alberto Angela peuple ce texte historique de nombreuses figures romanesques, dont une trop jeune épouse redoutant sa nuit de noces, un gladiateur érigé en sex-symbol et les prostituées d'un lupanar. Il nous révèle des techniques de drague au Circus Maximus, des recettes d'aphrodisiaques peu ragoûtantes, des graffitis très hot ou encore des SMS coquins sur tablettes... de cire. Alors pas si fous au lit, ces Romains ? À nous de le découvrir en cette même année 115 où l'auteur nous a guidés à travers plusieurs provinces (Empire) puis au coeur de la capitale (Une journée dans la Rome antique), et après qu'il nous eut fait revivre l'éruption du Vésuve en l'an 79 (Les Trois Jours de Pompéï).
