Changes would later come after the Marion Reforms of 107 BC but at the time, 8 inches or more was the minimum requirement. Only the legion commander was empowered to pick the feeders.
To make the cut, the commander measured length using the digit system the ancient Roman way of measuring inches. Back then, one index finger equated to four inches. When you do the math, you can see two were required to reach the “8” threshold. While not always the case, it was usually the men from present- day Sardinia who were chosen. We’re not sure why but it is believed men from this Mediterranean region were massively hung.Īgain, all of this may sound amazing and even hot but there was one important catch. You had to milk the group before the sun fully rose over the Colosseum. If you couldn’t get each man to nut and then swallow their seed, you were executed on the spot with a sword.Īnd to be clear, swallowing meant drinking all of their milk.
That may not sound difficult but consider the fact that the fighters were forced to abstain from releasing for a 10-day period prior to the event. That’s a lot to ingest from a clad of testosterone filled soldiers. You also must factor in the “ticking clock” element.
There was only a 15-20-minute window of opportunity between the dawn’s first light and its ascent to the top of the Colosseum.
