Erotic scene in the Lupanar, Pompeii

The customers expressed their opinions on the brothel and the performance of the prostitutes by scratching them on the walls, as can be seen by the approximately 120 examples of explicit graffiti. The brothel was managed by a “leno” (an owner of prostitutes) who bought the girl as slaves, primarily in the East, at an average price of 600 sesterces. The brothel’s tariffs varied from 2 to 16 asses (1 as equal to about half a sesterce).
