Explore the hidden and often harrowing world of male concubines, known as concubinni, within the vast and complex Roman Empire. This historical exploration delves into the realities of these young men, often slaves or of lower social status, who were taken into intimate relationships with both elite men and women.
Unlike the more formally recognized female concubinage, male concubinage was rarely a legally acknowledged union. Instead, it frequently involved power dynamics rooted in slavery, where consent was not a factor. Many concubinni were pueri delicati – young, attractive slave boys groomed for sexual and personal service. Their lives were dictated by the desires and whims of their masters, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, and a lack of personal autonomy.
While Roman society was generally permissive of same-sex relationships, particularly between an adult male citizen and a lower-status male, the concubinus occupied a precarious position. Their existence was often kept from public view, especially if their master was married, and their social standing was invariably low. Despite being objects of desire or companionship, they were still considered property, with their fates entirely dependent on their owners. This description aims to shed light on the often-overlooked suffering and lack of agency experienced by these individuals, whose lives were largely defined by servitude and the tragic absence of freedom.
