anecdotes from art history class

[nausica]

Today in class we were talking about the seating order in the Flavian Amphitheater (ye olde infamous coliseum) so I learned that all women, regardless of social standing had to sit in the nosebleeds. HOWEVER, vestal virgins got to sit in the front, and my only thought was there had to be someone who wanted that closer seat so bad she decided to just commit to that.

Also, I keep misspelling "virgin" because i jokingly smushed it with vergil dmc too much.
