How did republican romans feel about decency and modesty? Did

I don't think you'd care about decency and modesty beyond simple taste if you literally have Carthaginian loli sex slaves.

Read about the rape of lucretia, severitas was a big deal for early romans.

Patricians were prudish as fuck during the Republic

Well I know modesty was a thing, my question is more about origins. What were the religious or cultural implications, why was it bad

It was mostly to differentiate between Roman citizens and slaves. Non-citizens, excluding foreigners, were seen as degenerate, indecent and sexually available (as raping a non-citizen was basically legal as they had not protection of their body) and so in order to separate themselves from that, Roman citizen women would wear clothes to show that they were modest and their body was protected.

It was also to do with religion and stuff but that is a large amount to go through. Basically in Roman society the most important thing about being a citizen was that you were entitled to your own body and so citizens would wear certain clothes to show that they were in the cool group

Speaking of romans, could someone explain me how did diplomats work around the language barrier for example during Caesar's expedition to Britain?

Not op btw

Many people knew either latin or some form of the common language in the area. Remember that the barbarians would trade with the romans sometimes even during wars.

I have read numerous things about orgies that Rome had. But from seeing what the other anons are saying, it was probably like Japan, Where they were prudes outside the bedroom, but had a boat load of fetishes in the bedroom.

Also, gotta show the source for the pic, OP.
