What we call homosexuality today didn’t exist as a concept. Most elite man swung both ways, at least as the relationship’s top, and the ones that exclusively liked women got made fun of. I’m not sure if there’s examples of men disinterested in marrying, but I’m guessing if it happened the reaction would be something like “hey, stop goofing around and make heirs!”.

If you liked to bottom that was somewhat embarrassing, though. There were rumours about Julius Caesar.
