Cunning Linguists in the Roman Empire


Fourth style wall painting. Probably Neronian, with Vespasianic overpainting. From the south wall of the apodyterium of the Suburban Baths in Pompeii.

So the caption in the catalogue under this image reads: "Scene of Cunnilingus." tee hee hee!...I am still giggling...

Keep in mind that this is before Christianity had really taken off, so there was no doctrine that condemned open, public sexual acts. You could just go to the baths, get some face and call it a day.

GET IT GURRRRLLL! YEAH SON!
