"In his retreat at Capri, he even thought of installing a room furnished with benches for secret obscenities; there, troops of young girls and debauched youths gathered from all sides..., forming a triple chain, prostituted themselves among themselves in his presence, to revive by this spectacle his extinguished desires. He decorated rooms placed in different places with images and statuettes reproducing the most lascivious paintings and sculptures... so that each figure always found the model of the postures he ordered to be adopted... He is attributed with even more infamous turpitudes, such as one hardly dares to describe them or hear them exposed." (Life of Tiberius).
