To vary a little between my posts about the "Frozen" franchise and homosexuality, and sometimes both things together, I decided to talk a little about the books I've read in recent weeks, but which don't abandon the theme of homosexuality: the books by Allan Massie about the Roman Empire.
I have never studied homosexuality in the Roman Empire, so my knowledge is little, more about Greece itself, but homosexuality and male bisexuality is something that is very recurrent in books. In addition to being good historical books with a good narrative, they have this interesting addition that gave me a new perspective on emperors who are normally much less complex in adaptations.
I enjoyed my experience so much that I even looked for some historical films and series, and I highly recommend "Cleopatra" from 1963, it's a really impressive film to this day, especially the arrival of the Queen of Egypt in Rome.
I didn't buy the books or get them online, but rather found them in my local library. I live in a small town, but the library always surprises me positively.
