Roman prices vs now Anonymous Mon Sep 2 10:24:33 2019 No.15464821 [Reply] [Original]

How come in Rome, one fuck from a prostitute was 1 Denari.
A roman legion would get paid that once a day.

So for a days work, a roman could afford one fuck.

However, today you would have to work 3 days as one, for $100 for one fuck.

What happened?

Are prostitutes 3 times more expensive now because the standard of living is higher?

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 2 10:36:18 2019 No.15464924 >>15464898 Op never said centurion tho. I guess the price if whores went up because shit is more regulated. You can still go to thailand or moldova and get a cheap whore and maybe a souvenir

Ok lets compromise and say the take homw pay is $60, in america I think a hooker is $200.

So you would still have to work a solid 2 days.

So why are hookers twice as expensive now?

And come to think of it, what happened to letting anyone come in to watch the races but they have to pay for snacks? That was a good system! What's happened since... all of recorded history?

Also your math's off- I got 10 bucks an hour working in a factory full time, so that's between 100 and 120 dollars there.

>America
Oh, that explains it.
... Actually no it doesn't, in what possible world is America's system less fucked than Canada? Was I unintentionally tax evading?

It isn't, actually, I was mocking you. I was going to put in a point about how I can order 5 knives a day better than any those centurions carried (actually more I think-Mora's basic knife is like 6 bucks) from overseas or have a conversation in real time across nations. Times change. You got Jewed. Have fun trying to bring back the window tax.
