Who knew Romans were so freaky?

Cultural Tid Bits.

Come one, come all and feast on some food for thought!  Behold:  The House of the Vestal Virgins / strange carvings / Pompeii was covered in 'pre-explosion'.

Vestal Virgins:   The high priestess selected six initiates between the ages of six and 10 from Roman patrician families. Physical perfection was an important criteria. The girls took vows of chastity and served the Cult of Vesta for 30 years. Vestal priestesses were revered, lived in luxury and relative independence, and were free from obligations to marry and rear children.

**WHERE DO I SIGN UP!

strange carvings:  everybody up in Ancient Roma was getting their jollies.  signified by the 'wall wee-wees' and solicitations.  i mean, way to go right??  you're up waiting for your late night text, but those Romans knew right where to go when the mood strikes.

Pompeii:  ...no comment.  My maturity levels are rivaled by most 12-year-olds.  And Chuck E Cheese member cardholders.
