Inhaltsangabe
Picture a world where good sex is a blessing of the gods, not a cause for guilt, and where acts often considered immoral, even illegal by our standards are instead celebrated. Such a world is no futurist's fantasy but rather the reality of ancient Rome, 100 BC to 250 AD. In "Roman Sex", an illustrated, contextual study of the erotic art of that era, historian John R. Clarke exposes paintings, sculptures and ceramics featuring such controversial subject matter as group sex, lesbianism and the phallus as talisman. He then uses these works to explain ancient Roman attitudes towards a range of societal issues.

Zustand: Gut. 168 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Small abrasions on the dustjacket. Slightly cuffed. Otherwise good and clean. - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben. Leicht bestoßen. Sonst gut und sauber. - Answebing these questions and many more, Roman provides a fresh and provocative account of ancient Roman sexual practices. It explains, for the first time, a wealth of newly discovered sexual art, as well as the many paintings, sculptures, and vases hidden away until recently in the world's "secret museums." Many of the works shown here have been photographed in color especially for this lavishly illustrated book and a number have never before been published. John R. Clarke, the author, is Annie Laurie Howard Regents Professor of Art History at the University of Texas at Austin, and one of the world's foremost authorities on ancient Rome. He is the author also of The Houses of Roman Italy: Ritual, Space, and Decoration 100 B. c to A.D. zgo. He puts these works of art back into their original contextwhether in the home, brothel, or at the banquet tableand makes them reveal ancient Roman attitudes toward a host of sexual questions. The first Women's Liberation movement also took place in this period, and Clarke explains how and when it came about. He shows how and why the Roman man was a bisexual creature, alternating his affections between women and men, and how society treated the entrenched homosexual. Lesbian sex, illustrated by startling new discoveries at Pompeii, also gets full treatment. Roman sex was sex before Christianity and Puritan guilt. Romans, both rich and poor, proudly displayed images in their homes that we would hide away. Clarke takes the reader into a society markedly different from ours in its attitudes toward sex. With all its quirks, it was a sexually tolerant society that encouraged the creation and open display of erotic art. Roman will appeal to any reader who wants to understand this culture, which was in other ways so much the forerunner of our own.
