<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2698006, member: 83956&quot;]I was going to mention the same listing from our favorite &quot;highprice lowethics&quot; dealer. Not only is such a listing crassly exploitative of sexual identity, it fundamentally misunderstands sexual practices of the classical world, which were understood more as actions than &quot;identities.&quot; I think the &quot;gay Constans&quot; concept has its origins in the Roman historian Eutropius, an intimate of Julian who would have had no love for the House of Constantine. At any rate, if Constans did indulge in pederastic behaviors, he was probably no more &quot;gay&quot; than Tiberius. But whatever moves a crappy coin. I suppose if I want to look for responsible historiography, I should look elsewhere than eBay seller descriptions. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
