Extreme Historical Hobbies That Sound Made Up - But Aren't

*Fun fact:* The Romans also had really extreme and curious hobbies. A clear example would be the Lupercalia, a party (in commemoration of the pranks that Romulus and Remus committed as children and dressed as wolves) in which naked men covered in goat and sheep blood ran through the city while hitting women with leather straps as a way of wishing them good fertility. In fact, many important figures of the time such as Mark Anthony participated in a lot of Lupercalias. Interestengly, the birth rate in the city considerably increased 9 months after each Lupercalia...

Another fun fact Rome in its early days was the world's first sanctuary city offering freedom to run away slaves who made it there

[@tommywolfe2706]

@@JOEFABULOUS. that is a vague fun fact, and I am not sure if its accurate entirely. This is a cut and paste, from the wiki page for the word Asylum as it pertained to antiquity (Roman and Greek)...I assume this is almost exactly what you are referring to, as slaves being set free because they fled and went a place was not a thing, not within the empire. "The asylum (temple of the god Asylaeus) that Romulus is said to have opened at Rome on the Capitoline Hill, between its two summits, in order to increase the population of the city (Liv. i. 8; Veil. Pat. i. 8; Dionys. ii. 15), was, according to the legend, a place of refuge for the inhabitants of other states, rather than a sanctuary for those who had violated the laws of the city. In the republican and early imperial times, a right of asylum, such as existed in the Greek states, does not appear to have been recognised by the Roman law. Livy seems to speak of the right (xxxv. 51) as peculiar to the Greeks:-Temphim esi Apollinis Delium- eo jure sancto quo sunt templa quae asyla Graeci ap pellant. By a constitutio of Antoninus Pius, it was decreed that, if a slave in a province fled to the temples of the gods or the statues of the emperors, to avoid the ill-usage of his master, the praeses could compel the master to sell the slave (Gains, i. 53); and the slave was not regarded by the law as a runaway-fugitivus. This constitutio of Antoninus is quoted in Justinian's Institutes (1. tit. 8. s. 2), with a slight alteration; the words ad aedem sacram are substituted for ad fana deorum, since the jus asyli was in his time extended to churches. Those slaves who took refuge at the statue of an emperor were considered to inflict disgrace on their master, as it was reasonably supposed that no slave would take such a step, unless he had received very bad usage from his master. If it could be proved that any individual had instigated the slave of another to flee to the statue of an emperor, he was liable to an action corrupti servi (Dig. 4-7. tit. 11. s. 5.). The right of asylum seems to have been generally, but not entirely, confined to slaves (Dig. 48. tit. 19. s. 28. § 7. Comp. Osiander, De Asylis Gentilium, in Gronov. Thesaur. vol. vi.; Simon, Sur les Asyles, in Mem. de PA cad. des Inscript. vol. iii.; Bringer, De Asylorum Origine, Uau9 et Abusu Lugd. Bat. 1828; C. Neu, De Asylis Gott. 1837; respecting the right of asylum in the churches under the Christian emperors, see Rein, Das Criminalrecht der Romer, p. 896.)." *Important notes......"a place of refuge for inhabitants from other cities" is not the same as "slaves". Its vague because it says it was actually used for people who violated laws of the city.....but being a slave and running away would be violating the laws of the city. That is where its up to the individual case..... "Compelling" the master to sell the slave does not imply that the slave is set free, only that it is sold. It specifically says that them running brought dishonor to the master because it implied that they were treated poorly. What it also implies is that instead of the master having to kill his slave for being disobedient and running...... and wasting his money..... (what he had to pay for the slave) it gave him a chance to sell the slave instead. I see it as a wealthy Roman way of getting a return on a purchase that you werent happy with. Its just that we are talking about slaves in this instance.

They said it sounds boring, but you have to remember that they didn't have anything back then.

Interestingly they have found two mommies or rather almost perfectly preserved corpses in China that have been determined to be over 2500 years old but when they examine the bodies their extremities were mobile similar to a person who was in a coma. And then when they extracted the organs they determined that they were so well preserved it would be equal to someone dying today and have an being prepared for burial. Fascinating stuff but the question one may have is the various different spiritual kickbacks from a somewhat perfectly preserved corpse versus one that has been completely cremated either way spiritual relevance is the common denominator in determining eternal placement and recognition which equals spiritual relevance maybe even authority that leads to being classified as power personified over life death soul and spirit. And if that's the case we should be able to apply some of those best case scenario situations aspects into today's people way of living and dying.
