What do you need a gladius for, Romanfats?
If your house gets robbed, just call the lictor's guild or use your scutum to fend off the attack.
No Roman citizen actually needs a gladius. If push came to shove, what, are you and your untrained barbarian slaves going to defeat 10 legions by yourselves?
What next, should you have the right to own a ballista? No Roman citizen should need anything more than a pugio to defend himself in his home. You're just overcompensating for your short stature and plebeian birth.

>What do you need a gladius for, Romanfats?
To go to war. For most of history the legionaries had to buy their own equipment.

Roman life was only good for the richest members of it's society, and you my man would not be a patrician, you'd be lucky to be born a freeman desu

>Projecting your sexual fantasies into a historical context you know nothing about
The roman upper-classes viewed anything other than sex with your wife for procreation as degeneracy, Brothels may have been legal but they were still extremely shameful, Sex with slaves was considered degenerate and discouraged

Wrong.
>No moral censure was directed at the man who enjoyed sex acts with either women or males of inferior status, as long as his behaviors revealed no weaknesses or excesses, nor infringed on the rights and prerogatives of his masculine peers. While perceived effeminacy was denounced, especially in political rhetoric, sex in moderation with male prostitutes or slaves was not regarded as improper or vitiating to masculinity, if the male citizen took the active and not the receptive role.
