    The Romans were more interested in regulating prostitution, not eradicating it, in spite of their general contempt for women who became prostitutes. They adopted the idea of state-controlled brothels, or lupinar (house of she-wolves) but it wasn't until the time of the Emperor Augustus that a set of codes governed the behavior, restrictions and privileges of prostitutes.

    The last time that she came here to find Arrius was the day she had met Verrius Valerius. The two men had become thick as thieves ever since and she knew that there was more than just friendship involved. It didn't bother her that they were lovers, it just made her task a bit more challenging. After all the three of them had spent a night of lust together which proved that females were of interest to them, Arrius more so than Verrius. Verrius could go over to the male side very easily and never look back but Arrius was, in her opinion, leaning heavily towards the female side. And that was why she was here. The last time she had overplayed her hand and her aggressive behavior had driven Arrius into the arms of Verrius. It would be different this time. She sent one of her men into Phil's Exotica to call on Arrius. It wouldn't be proper for her to enter the brothel herself. When he returned she was very disappointed to learn that Arrius had gone to Green Acres. Damn that Sextus Manlius! Once again he was proving to be an obstacle in her pursuit of Arrius Flavius.
