Pornography? Nobody knew the term then. Debauchery? After all, man does not have a body to be ashamed of. The ancient Greeks gave us democracy. Romans - they started the rule of law. Have their views on eroticism also stood the test of time?
Adam Węgłowski takes readers on a fascinating journey through the world of antiquity:at the same time deceptively close and surprisingly different. He looks into the bedrooms of the Athenian aristocrats, the baths of the Eternal City and the circus arenas among the gladiators.

He discovers the most intimate matters of marriages from two millennia ago. He exposes the truth about sensual Greek feasts to which only men were invited. But also about the life of heterosexuals, about the forbidden love of Roman legionnaires and the sad fate of the people of antiquity who dared to spice up their neighbors' horns.
No one has written about sex in ancient times with such enthusiasm and inquisitiveness. The naked truth about how ancient people made love. An era of no shame.
