Roman Mumsnet

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Can you find me some sandals to go with this toga?

AIBU to think that my slaves don't need a day off?

Who is your favourite person in the Forum?

What else?

[localcrackpot]

Bastard bastard octopus swam up my sewer drainage and ate a whole pot of my garum! What do you do to keep the swine out? I'm thinking about getting one of those nautical gladiators with a trident and a net to stand guard... DH laughs every time I bring it up, but I'm not laughing. Any ideas?

[TapirBackRider]

Am I being unreasonable to think that the price of woad will go through the roof once we invade Britannia?

[BombusBombus]

aibu to have a sponge in a stick to wipe my arse with?

[Northernlurkerisonholiday]

Legions wives and sweethearts please help! My dh has been posted to Germania. AIBU to think they're all barbarians there?

[arthurfowlersallotment]

DH OW is a Vestal Virgin. AIBU to dob her in and have the slut buried alive?

Also, would like to request a hail Caesaran Section even though it means I will certainly perish. AIBU?

[PatFenis]

I have yet again had a neglegtion of invitoriuim to rellly importanto wedding - I have to assumium that I am indeed persona non grata

Giveaflyingfuckmuchio? No

I was just making up stupid words ^^ there - don't google them cos you will come up with shite all

[Lilymaid]

Travel: Thinking of going to Gaul on holiday this year. I understand it is divided into three parts - which one is the nicest?

[MadBusLady]

a hail Caesaran Section

THAT WINS. Stop the internet.

[arthurfowlersallotment]

:o

[localcrackpot]

That's probably the best use my Classics degree has seen in a decade...

[HappyAsChips]

Walking through the Forum the other day, noticed Mark Antony coming out of the Senate House. Have you seen his arse in that toga? Phwoar!

KLAXON

DH has the plague - should I pop some of the swellings myself or take him to the OOH Temple of Aesculapius?

[OhDearNigel]

Shit. I am a Vestal Virgin and also the OW. I just POAS and I am PG. WWYD ?

Has anyone got a really good garum recipe they can share ? Mine just ends up smelling like rotten anchovies.

We live in an insula. My NDN's DS got a typanum for Agonalia and now he will not stop drumming on it, particularly on their balcony on fine evenings. It drives me to drink. WIBU to knock the little blighter into the sewer next time I pass him in the street ?

[Jacksmania]

The following Mumsnetters have stepped on my toga and left it dirty.
Seeing as I am a sebator's wife, I am going to demand that they be taken to the Colosseum and thrown to the lions.

[sashh]

All right ... all right ... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order ... what HAVE you lot done for US?

[Minimammoth]

Just rummaging through the entrails searching for a portent. Apparently we're all doomed, doomed I say. The Ides of March are a long way off by Jupiter.

[fridakahlo]

Oh dear nigel-it would not be a stick bur some barley and you would be waiting a few weeks for the results ( it grows quicker if you are).
DH has been offered a tax collecting role in Lugdunum,.just wandering if anyone has been or lived there, I understand the fashion houses are very good but suspect it would be otherwise lacking, culturally? Am I correct?

[Clayhanger]

DH is under a lot of stress at work, what with his legion being decimated, but he keeps sloping off to hang out with some "Christians". AIBU to leave the bastard?

[fivegomadindorset]

My DH is expecting me to peel his grapes. Is he controlling?

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

I think my DH is oil-lamping me

[TalcAndTurnips]

Has anyone else seen that new futuristic presentation down at the Hippodrome yet? It's called Ben Hur - they're using some of the most outlandish chariots I've ever seen. Blood and gore everywhere.

Makes a change from watching a lion chewing on a Christian's femur I suppose. What passes for entertainment these days is really quite beyond the pail. Give me a good old-fashioned naked slave orgy any day.

[TheLastRavenhope]

AIBU to ask for divorce?

My DH, Claudius, keeps harping on about how he doesn't want to be Emperor and how he wants a republic instead now that Caligula is dead. Thankfully, the Praetorian Guard has some sense and have told him that the people will kill us all if he says no and won't let him talk to anyone until he changes his mind.

This is absolutely the last straw. I've had to put up with that barmy Livia trying to poison everyone, avoiding Tiberius who likes anything with two legs and a toga and keeping my head down around Caligula until the barmy sod married me to Claudius.

I think I bloody well deserve some recognition and adulation for that if nothing else, but Claudius thinks the people need a bloody republic. I ask you, a bloody republic?!

I've had enough and want to divorce him. Besides, that consul has rather nice legs...

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

Can anyone recommend a good chariot for thr urbs?
