Chapter 2 of The Bloody Funny History of Rome begins
in Italy (Herd of Cow Land?) with Rome squashed
between the great Etruscan League above, and Greater Greece below. Party-goers
at Greek towns like bad Sins and Sybaris dine while holding portable urinals between their knees - which
saves
them from ever having to leave the table! Sex Please, We're Etruscan
opens the painted Etruscan tombs depicting orgiastic dancing, drinking
games, and outdoor sex where slaves double as beds. Diverse tombs delves into the unique Tomb of the
Diver to make a big splash! The ferocious Samnites put an
end to all this fun, and crying at funerals instead becomes fashionable,
and even endures until today.
