Here's a Valentines update...
I'm reading Sex Lives of the Roman Emperors, wow those guys <and gals> knew how to party eh?
-How to catch a Libyan lion: An attractive slave had to get on all fours and offer the lion his anus. When the lion was mounted and fully engaged, a gang made up of other slaves would wrestle it to the ground and sedate it with huge anounts of Armenian brandy. The process was fatal for the bait.
-Caligula tried to revive his sister<lover> by masterbating into her ashes. After than he made her a goddess.
-The ravished girls were led away to marriage
Their very shame made them more beautiful
And when one struggled hard against her captor
He carried her away in eager arms,
And said: "why spoil your pretty eyes by weeping?
Your father took your mother, now I take you!
-Ovid
Isn't that nice? Happy Valentines Day!

Of course one needs to be careful as most of our historical source material for the emperors comes from hostile senatorial historians.
