Please be kind enough to let me know if you are going to use an image for your site. Please credit me as the author of the image, too. These images are for use on Ancient Worlds only. Drop me a message if you would like to see a particular kind of image and I will let you know if I can do it. There are more images posted than what you see here. You will need to click on past dates back to April 17 to see everything. One more thing: A lot of these images are transparent gifs. They look smoother when there is a "mat" surrounding the outer pixels. Because I don't know their ultimate destination, I have chosen to use no mat at all. This creates a jagged appearance on the outer part of the image. Let me know if you need help with this minor problem.

Eljin, a Dancer from the East

Posted at 16:00 EST

She graces the triclinium of the

emperor with her strange and wonderful dance. How does she do that thing with her navel? A joy for any bachelor or a married man with a very understanding wife.

Someone to wash over you.

Helga, a Savage German for your Cubiculum

Posted at 09:00 EST

She's pricey, but dee-liciously untamed. Can you soothe her savage heart, Roman? Debilis, our grooming slave, tried to trim her nails and now he's carrying his orbis ocularis around in his tunic folds.

Glabrus, the Gladiator

Posted at 17:00 EST

It's true, Romans! A real live gladiator to show off for the kiddies.

Glabrus threw his fight with Spartacus by hiding behind the glutton Vinicius, and got thrown out of gladiator school. He was also seen arranging flowers on the Appian way wearing a vestal's stola and a set of Etruscan-style earrings. That's right, Romans, Glabrus, aside from being a coward, has really bad fashion sense.

Taurus, the Perfect Bodyguard

Posted at 17:00 EST

I'm telling you, dear senators and ladies alike, he doesn't even need the axe. Just let him carry a torch at night outside your litter as you make your way across the forum and I GUARANTEE no one will try to steal your jewelry or kidnap your 16 year old daughters.

Found on some island wandering around an ancient labyrinth, Taurus may be the ugliest bugger you've ever shaken fasces at, but he's as true blue as they come.

Half-eaten maidens and ball of twine sold separately.

Herma, a special friend

Posted at 13:00 EST

For the Roman who has everything and everyone, here is Herma. She sings, she dances, etc. But the real surprise awaits you.

No refunds.

Hercules, a Slave for the Hunt

Posted at 10:00 EST

What do you take with you for that annual boar hunt with your sons and a few local cronies? The wine skins are a given as well as a hefty supply of spears. But who's going to carry it all? Hercules, newly arrived from just outside Sparta, has all the muscle you'll need for all your equipment and as many dead boar as you can load onto him.

His leg was slightly damaged leaping from the bedroom window of a certain well known senator's wife. His wounds will heal, which is more than I can say for those of the cuckolded husband's.

Isis, Egyptian Slave Girl

Posted at 07:00 EST

After a trying day at the courts, who is going to dry your tears, hear your fears and keep a cup of Falernian always at your elbow? Isis will.

So named Isis for her devotion to that ancient god transplanted to our soil. Our Isis was found on the steps of the temple, asking men, young and old, for donations. My master, IClaudius Antonius, was so taken by her that he brought her into his household as a rubdown girl for his baths. She weilds a mean stirgil and her talents with scented oils simply can not be matched.

Unctus, Slave Merchant of Rome.

Posted at 20:00 EST

C'mon, ladies. Wouldn't throw this specimen out of bed for eating crackers, would you? He's run afoul of the Claudian family and looking for new lodgings. He can clean up a kitchen or cookshop, gut a wild boar or stand watch over troublesome younger slaves. He arrived from Spain already schooled in the art of making olive oil and procuring slaves for the rich and powerful. Tiberius called him disgusting, but Caligula played drafts with him and once took him to Germania to collect seashells, only the gods know why. Claudius banished him to New Jersey for making sucking noises in Messalina's general direction. I'm sure you can find a place for Unctus in your humble domus. He comes with an abbreviated wardrobe and silver dribble bucket.
