What might Ancient Roman Women have talked about?

>>2085919

Superior Carthaginian men.

probably finding a good/rich hubby?

oh and they also manage the estates of their patriarch (especially when they go to war).

1. "I wonder how Scipilus is faring on his war against X"

2. "I wonder if my ceramic is out of date"

3. "What would life be like if a savage horde invaded Rome and fucked me(wet dream)"

>>2085919
Make up
Trinkets
Gossip about other women
How to get a rich husband, and if they already have one, how one's husband is better/richer than the other.

household business and goings on in the community

>>2086068
...needs more oil desu

Potential husbands
The price of good slaves and produce
The latest in exotic animals and cults from the east
Shit that bitch Flavia said
What happened in the latest chariot races or gladiator games
How business was if they owned a store

The shame shit we talk about today. As far as we understand, human behavior has changed very little since then.

>>2085919
Gossip, like we've been doing for the past fifty thousand years.

It clearly has changed. We have revolutionised society, and while there are many constants (we're cunts, we wage war), others have totally changed (how we interact, how we view privacy). Roman people shat in public together and it was seen as normal. Are you really saying our behaviour has changed "very little"?

human nature hasn't changed anon was trying to say, and for the most parts he's right, even despite different specific customs that rose from technological constraints
Have you read ancient Roman texts or orations? Cicero's Cataline Orations in particular? The same things we discussed today were discussed and debated back then, the only major barring being technology level and geopolitical differences.


So, let's say Romans magically had tablets and social media, any everyone had it. Would they have acted the same ways early 90's internet users did? Would it follow a simmilar development path and lead to debates on cyber security and privacy?

The common historical consensus is yes. Times may change, mores may change, but until a long time from now, we're the same being we were a dozen millennia ago. That's the point anons trying to make

>>2085967
Usually they talk about their kids if they have any. Complain about people that gave them a hard time, which is often men but sometimes women. When it's other women they tend to talk even more visciously/gossip about them. Also food, and more relationship/friendship drama/gossip. Also pop culture stuff and nasty sexual things with their close friends especially if its with a gay male friend.

t. someone who grew up as the only male in house of 8 females.

Nothing interesting

It's not a very good point. Graffiti in Pompeii shows a totally different mindset to trolling, for example.

>>2086170
The reason I don't shit in public is cause I'd have to clean it up, not cause I'm ashamed

>>2086291

One popular topic for discussion was always the various stupid cults they were involved in.

Standard paganism was mainly concerned with making sure that the gods favored the Roman state. It was intricately tied into power and politics, and as a result it was almost entirely run by men. But once new "mystery cults" started cropping up, women flocked to them. That's because these cults were often open to people from all walks of life, they offered a close and exclusive community, and they claimed to offer many spiritual benefits such as a utopian afterlife. These cults practiced rituals that might involve snakes, intoxicants, music and dance, bathing in blood, or any number of bizarre and semi-taboo elements. It rapidly became an easy source for conversation that was exclusive and exciting, among the close circles women.

Okay, let's talk about the really important topic here:

Male nudity seems to have been very common in ancient Greece / Rome. So when you're marrying a nubile maiden (pic related), what are the odds that she would have never seen a penis before? What about an erect one? I know women were kept extremely sheltered, at least among the upper classes.

>he only has a foot long cock

experiences they had with other people

the same thing people talk about today

>Face it, you'll never be able to please a woman with your disgusting, useless, pathetic, large penis. All women secretly crave superior SHORT and THIN Greek dick. She might try to comfort you when lay next to her at night, and say "please don't feel bad, your dick isn't... that big..." But you know that while you make love to her, she is secretly fantasizing about delicious pale, petite, Hellenistic cock.

Cur non ab viris barbaris pedicor nec irrumor?
Quanti boves mactandi sunt ad altare Isis?
Cur Maximianus non nocte media in lectum ad me stuprandam progressus est?

this is literally all they talked about towards the end of Rome.
