A very popular and recognisable scene, but I don't know if it has been posted here before.
seeing in tv Muhteşem Yüzyıl series seeing those all colorful shiny clothes and dresses and about polish slave who become main sultan wife and rule whole country and him like puppet think everyone will be wanna being in haremI would think being in a harem would be a great place for a lesbian to be. I wouldnt have a problem servicing a man on occasion if need be. The cloths the girls wear are so sexy and I would love to learn their sensuous dances.

That is just a fantasy. Harem is, as willowfall did write the word for the part of the house where women lived. Romans did not have any harems.I thought they kept the harem. to entertain important guests. The Romans were very political and garnished favor of the higher ups by elaborate parties or so we learned in history books.
She looks like she doesn´t know herself if is she a slave or future queen...
I guess you cant believe half of what you are taught in school. Same goes for what they taught in sunday school. They only wanted to brain wash usThat is just a fantasy. Harem is, as willowfall did write the word for the part of the house where women lived. Romans did not have any harems.
Romans married someone of apropriate family to produce offspring, divorces were common and not frowned about. Each household thet could afford it (wich was almost all) owned slaves. They were kept primarily kept for economic, not sexual purposes. They were workers, servants, sectretaries, teachers. Often old people, who stayed at the same household for all their life. The slaves of a houshold were called 'familia'. Business men, such as building contractors owned larger numbers of trained and untrained slaves as a work force. So did the big farms (latifundiae) in the countryside or production sites for anything you can think of.
Now, naturally in a rich household, owning - amongst others - some attractive women, these might be used for the pleasure of the owners, whenever they felt like it.
This was something 'normal' but nothing you spoke of. In the time of the Republic and Early Empire it would have been considered very bad taste to do so in public, just as naturally you visited a lupanar (brothel) from time to time, but this was nothing to be discussed.
During the late Republic and Early Empire some equestri or even freed-men came to considerable wealth. Those 'nouveaux-riches' were frowned upon and considered to be of bad taste and worse behaviour. As such they were a matter of jokes and comedies. Using slaves for sexual purposes and even offering them to visitor was one of the topics of these comedies to show how primitive and uncultivated these people were, underlining how uncommon and scandalous such behaviour was considered to be.
In real slavery sexual abuse always (maybe with the exception to modern days trafficking of women) always was a resulting peripheral issue, while the main purpose was economic.

That's the thing with facts: the fact is just that children were treated differently than grow ups, when they died (in Bronze Age Near East they were often not buried in the cemetry, but inside the houses underneath the floors. Very oftne children's burials are completely missing, as in the case of Viking Gotland etc.). This is perfectly normal in many cultures. The rate of small children dying in their first year is rather high in pre-modern societies, even if they were as advanced and cultivated as the Carthaginians.Funny thing, not that long ago archeologists working working at a Carthaginian site unearthed a sacred well with a massive number of children's bones at the bottom. WHY they got there no one can say for sure but factually it looks like the Romans may have been more on the mark that 1960s western liberal educators.
Any good school should teach you not to believe, but to think.I guess you cant believe half of what you are taught in school. Same goes for what they taught in sunday school. They only wanted to brain wash us
