    With such sexual activity, how on earth did Roman women prevent it?
    I remember seeing a documentary one time on stuff like this, and there was apparently some kind of an herb Roman woman used to take that blocked pregnancy, so well in fact that its now extinct as a species.

    Also the romans were one of the 1st people to use Lambskin condoms. Which stops pregnancy but not always STDs.

    Impressive!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Their whooooole shebang on BC is quite impressive and they list the herbs that used to be used as a birth control method... While there was nothing on Roman Orgies really the BC was quite well stocked on information... enjoy
    You smell that? That's the smell of spring, and I love it. You know what I love to do in spring? I love to come out into the woods, to walk amongst the budding trees, to smell and taste the hint of renewal that hovers in the air like a heady perfume, and to listen to the song of the birds who have returned from their long sojourn south. And bury the people I killed during the winter...
