Back when men were still presumably men and women were still presumably women.

As the one cartoon about the Klondike observed: a darn good arrangement.

The technical skill demonstrated by the craftsmen of this
era in lost wax casting of such volumes of Bronze is
simply amazing.

"were found submerged beneath the baths alongside around 6,000 bronze, silver and gold coins"
To: Red Badger
Thanks, sent this to my brother, he has worked on digs in Italy. It’s great how they keep finding such things.
My father was born there and used to fill his canteen from a spring on the side of a little hill when he was a boy working the fields. 25 years after he came to America, the “spring” was discovered to be a fountain and an entire city was excavated at the site. They have little museum full of articles there too. We visited it when Dad was still alive and he got to fill a water bottle from the fountain. It was a very cool moment for us.

Yeah. Everyone knows that ancient Roman gold and silver coins have no value. :-)

One thing you can be sure of, there were no homosexuals in ancient Rome.
