Most sexually active Caesar
Various Roman Caesars indulged themselves in a wide range of sexual pursuits. Nero and
Caligula, for instance,
were known for their orgies, sexual appetites, and "perverted" pleasures. Tiberius, perhaps,
has the edge over
them all. Throughout his life he indulged in all manner of sexual behaviour, and even in old age
he contrived a
private sporting house in which all forms of sexual behaviour would be performed in front of
him. Young boys,
whom he called his "minnows", would move between his legs while he was swimming, to lick
and tease his penis.
Sometimes he even used unweaned babies to suck him - "such a filthy old man he had
become!" ("The Twelve
Caesars", Suetonius). He also collected erotica - pictures, sculpture, and erotic manuals from
Elephantis in Egypt.
One story is that when an acolyte and his brother, the sacred trumpeter, would not submit to
his pleasure he
assaulted them and then had their legs broken.
