When in Rome -- a mature lady's interest in ancient Rome leads her into the arena!
BOB
Babs had expressed interest in a late Summer break to Rome. Babs, with a Master's degree in history has wide ranging historical interests including ancient Roman history. In addition, we both still deal a little in antiques and antiquities a visit to Rome had been on our 'bucket list' for some time but we simply hadn't got around to it.
Although Babs main research has been mainly on the 'old' and 'young pretenders' in Scotland she had been reading several books on ancient Rome over the Summer. And whether it was the thought of seeing some of the architecture, visiting the museums and antique markets or even just admiring or sampling the attractive 'Italian stallions' she suggested a visit. As we are bothy semi-retired we were able to set aside just under two weeks for our break.
We found a nice little hotel near the Coliseum and for two days we ate in the hotel as we were tired out trekking round as we immersed ourselves in museums, culture and architecture plus visits to the markets. We purchased a few antiques at good prices in the markets including what the vendor told Babs was an ancient 7" long marble dildo. Needless to say, we tried it out that night in Babs pussy and ass during our lovemaking!
On the third day we took the Coliseum tour and I think Babs was a little bit disappointed when the guide advised her that many of the Roman's reported excesses including the raping of women by domestic and wild animals was thought to be little more than stories based on Greek mythology.
That night Babs decided that she should dress sexy, we go out for a meal and have a few drinks and see if we couldn't create a bit of our own sexual mythology with some younger Italian stallions. Her outfit of white fairly transparent tee shirt and long transparent skirt was both cool and sexy. The taut material of the top clung round her heavy unbraed breasts and showed the dark aureoles and nipples off to perfect while the tiny white g-string between her big jutting hips could be seen through the material of the skirt. It certainly hinted at the promise of the pleasure that the deep valley between her mature hips could offer.
I suggested a drink at the hotel bar and maybe get a recommendation for dinner. A dark-haired snake hipped bartender in his late twenties served us drinks and I noticed he had difficulty in keeping his eyes off Babs 40c/d boobs. As I sipped a beer and she a cocktail she said she was really disappointed that the sexual excesses of the Romans had been exaggerated as through her research she had hope to find and purchase for a client some erotica around the subject. We were surprised when our conversation was interrupted by the barman who apologised for interrupting but he had overheard our conversation and said that his brother who had an interest in all things from ancient Rome could probably help. He said he owned a small café /bar just over 400 metres away and if he couldn't help with the history could certainly provide a good dinner.
Taking directions, we finished our drinks and I followed Babs swaying buttocks out of the bar, When I looked back I saw that Mario too was enjoying the same view!
Following the little map that he had drawn for us, we followed several twists and turns down small ancient streets into a small square which was dominated by three café/bars including one with the heads of a bull and donkey above the door.
The café was fairly busy and slightly dark and atmospheric and we were met at the door most effusively by a slightly older early thirties version of Mario, Vincente. He said that Mario had called him to say that a very beautiful blonde English lady with an interest in ancient Roman eroticism and her husband would be visiting him. He explained that he also had an interest in ancient Rome and suggested we have something to eat and drink and we could have a chat and he could show her some rare material after the other guests had gone.
He obviously liked what he could see of Babs' body as he was very attentive in getting her seated and in making sure her wine glass was kept topped up. When she went to the loo he saw that I had seen him watching her coming and going and he smiled and said "Your wife is very beautiful". I realised that even if Babs didn't satisfy her curiosity about Ancient Rome there was a fair chance she could get a good length of modern Roman man before the night was over.
Over an excellent meal with lots of wine including and complimentary brandies sent out 'for the lovely lady' we were able to relax and take in the interestingly decorated interior while Vincente and his waiter looked after the other guests.
The frieze on one side of the bar was of combat in the arena between gladiators and also between gladiators and all sorts of wild animals. The other side was much much more erotic with scenes of orgies featuring scantily dressed young women and well-endowed men. The rear wall was the most spectacular of all with what I thought initially were two mature voluptuous women but then realised it was probably a front and back view of the same woman in an animal skin costume which was rather like a corset as her breasts, thighs and ripe cunt were exposed in one view as she lay thighs open on a bed of animal fur. The other view was of her lying face down with her ripe jutting hips exposed. In both cases she was being attended and serviced by Satyrs -- mythical creatures in both Greek and Roman mythology with the head and hooves of a goat and the body of a man with a large curved penis.
As we sat at the bar while our host cleared up and dealt with the remaining guests I saw Babs was greatly taken by this and I asked her did she find it erotic smiled and said she particularly liked the Satyrs. She said that her research had indicated that a great deal of the alleged bestiality of both Greeks and Romans was purely myth but she thought it may have existed in some form.
Our host overheard Babs and smiling he said that rather than being myth he thought it may have been real and after he closed we could have a drink and see the material on which he had the murals based.
Whether it was a genuine interest or Babs had seen the interested way this dark-haired stud had looked at her ripe mature body, Babs accepted with alacrity. I ordered more brandies and around midnight Vincent let his chef go, ushered his last guests out and shut up. He took us back through the café and ushered upstairs to his living quarters. As he did so I saw his eyes were glued to Babs big jutting buttocks perfectly displayed in the sheer skirt.
The room was comfortably furnished and he produced and opened two good bottles of wine before going to a book case and bringing out some old heavily illustrated books.
He initially showed us illustrations of the more martial games the Romans enjoyed including pitting gladiators and slaves against wild animals that had been brought from all over the empire before saying to Babs "I hope you are not offended by extreme sexual practices. The Romans believed sex was there to be enjoyed and had few if any limits in what they liked to do or watch."
He went on to explain that Roman men generally enjoyed sex with both women and young men and prostitution and orgies with young male and female slaves was quite common and clubs and small arenas existed specifically for this purpose.
Babs brought up the fact that she had read that unlike the almost complete sexual freedom offered to men Roman women were expected to be virgins before marriage and chaste within it and adultery for a married woman was quite a crime.. He smiled when he asked her how she would have liked that. When she said not at all. His smile widened when she said that although we had been married quite a long time, more recently she had enjoyed experimenting with other people and we both enjoyed this.
She went on to explain that since she had started to dress sexier guys did come on to her and if she liked them and Bob was OK with it she would take it further either on her own or in a threesome or more with Bob.
Vincente smiled again and said "And how would you feel if I said I think you have a fantastic body and I would love to have sex with you."
She responded by smiling and saying "I'd quite like that but I'd like to hear some more about the Romans and whether they did use animals to rape or have sex with women,"
Opening a rather old well illustrated volume he said " Many old engravings certainly implied that they did use trained animals with women including to punish adulterous women. Whther this was men dressed as Satyrs or animals is not clear but the old art implies it."
