In Ancient Rome, Consent Didn’t Matter - Status Did

Описание: 🕯️ In ancient Rome, sexual violence was not judged by consent - it was judged by status. Roman law, Roman social hierarchy, and Roman household authority determined whether an act was a serious crime, a private matter, or not a crime at all. This historical documentary exposes how ancient Rome defined sexual violence through ownership, power, and rank - and why victims were legally invisible when hierarchy was not threatened.

This video reveals how Roman society treated sexual violence as a question of control, not harm:
why Roman law prioritized status over consent,
how freeborn women were protected only as male property,
why enslaved women had no sexual legal protection,
how paterfamilias authority silenced abuse inside Roman households,
why children had no legal path to accuse fathers,
how male victims were erased by honor culture,
how elite status bent Roman courts and accusations collapsed,
and why Roman moral laws punished behavior - not coercion.

Rome did not lack laws about sex. It lacked laws that protected people.
This historical documentary examines Roman legal customs, social hierarchy, household authority, slavery, and moral legislation to uncover how sexual violence was regulated - not prevented - by the Roman system.
Once you understand how Roman law actually worked, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: violence does not need chaos to survive - sometimes it survives through order.

This is not modern outrage or exaggeration.
It is a historical analysis of how power, law, and hierarchy shaped whose suffering counted - and whose did not.
