'Pacy, witty and authoritative' Jonathan Freedland

'In her hands, ancient history becomes a vivid avenue of approach to a burning modern-world concern… a powerful and important book' Daily Telegraph 

 A superb and illuminating history of Imperial Rome's most important women – dispelling the myths and misogyny that have distorted their reputations for over 2000 years.

Writer, activist and journalist Joan Smith has worked for years to raise awareness of violence against women and girls, and has been instrumental in bringing the innate misogyny of the police to public attention. Unfortunately, She Was a Nymphomaniac reinterprets the bloody, violent story of twenty-three women closely associated with the Julio-Claudian emperors of Rome. Fewer than half a dozen of them can be said with any confidence to have died of natural causes.

These were the wives, mothers and daughters of the emperors from Augustus to Nero, via their ‘mad’ relative Caligula. They were the most privileged women of their time, but their lives were overshadowed, dominated and controlled by these men. Raped, killed, ripped apart from their children and mostly airbrushed from history, Joan Smith brings their extraordinary and tragic stories back into focus. There are no nymphomaniacs here.

Instead, the book pieces together the human stories, showing how they struggled for control of their lives at a time when both the law and culture were stacked against them. These women shared in a spirited, inspiring and sometimes reckless resistance to male authority.

Smith brings to this history not only a fresh interpretation of the original texts but also an understanding of what we know now about the mechanics of domestic abuse. The way these women have been misrepresented for two thousand years speaks volumes not just about ancient misogyny but the origin and persistence of attitudes that continue to blight women’s lives today.

Does the Caligula: The Ultimate Cut deserve all of the hype or is it just excess for excess sake?

The Room I Grew Up In mit Archa de Lumin (1977) - LYRICS

consedere illum faciet
agrum ligna
et tu caecus
archa de lumin
et caecus vidente
in somno
in horreum
ponere
per tuum
risum
Wie essen wir?
Mit unseren Familien und Lands
Im Ein Ort der gestörten Vorstellungen und Ideen
Der Darm seines Geistes
Hier wohnst du nicht
Die Farbe rot ist gut, ja? Gut fur du Augen.
Was ist falsche mit meinen Augen!!
Ich weiß es nicht!!
Vielleicht tust du...
Teufel Dämon gehören im Gehenna
Mit Ihrer Mutter und Vater
Und rassistische Brüder
Voll von Getränken und Schlaf.
Mein Schlaf ist nicht für Sie ... mein Namen ist Caligula
Dämon
Übel unter allen voll Betrug und die Christus von Täuschungen
Erinnere dich
Solche

Die gelb Wurden
consedere illum faciet

et tu caecus

I have never been more degraded or incomprhensivwely disrespected as when uyou did not refer to me by title

We're here We're here
To work together as one
Why would you Gamble Mate
And drink the pint of liquor

Physics are building structure innit
Chemistry is a bomb
Chemi innit
Me father
You'd keep me here
I prefer go way way innit
I will go negantropy centrifuge with you now 

Wir sind hier, wir sind hier, um zusammenzuarbeiten. 
Warum willst du spielen, Kumpel? 
Und den Schnaps trinken? 
Physik baut Strukturen auf, nicht wahr? 
Chemie ist der Hammer. Chemi, nicht wahr?
 Mein Vater. 
Du würdest mich hier behalten. 
Ich würde lieber weggehen, nicht wahr? 
Ich gehe jetzt mit dir zur Negantropie-Zentrifuge.
