Latest / Lambda: the LGBT in Antiquity Podcast
International Pronouns Day Special
On this International Pronouns Day Special, we are exploring some of the terms Romans used to describe their own loves.
Many of these terms originated to describe wholly unrelated contexts, before becoming associated with certain lifestyle choices, and eventually with queerness. Additionally many of the terms can be used either to describe one's own affection, or else used as a way to attack somebody else.
By exploring the phrases Romans used to describe sexuality in their own terms, we gain a wider understanding of the Queer experience in Antiquity.
