Everything I have seen indicates to me that pornogrpahic images (and literature) were widespread in the Roman world. And pornography was a part of the lives of ordinary people, as well as the decadent ruling class. The long-term detrimental effects of all this pornogrpahy have long been understated by historians. Good work! MIke,
