The conclusion is that with a Mesalina around, any Roman soldier who was willing to figure as a gigolo had it made.

I just hope you use nice round numbers in your tables. Like 2,000,000 Frenchman can’t be wrong, but they can be gigolos, and French is a romance language, which brings us right back to Roman soldiers.
