!!! You got me thinking of gender politics in Romulus
Maybe in Alba Longa the male part is more important than the omega part, that's why the twins will be warriors and kings and Silvia doesn't become queen even if she's the child of Numitor
Yemos being pissed off when Silvanus says something like in Rome omegas know their place and refuse to consider the boys' suggestions while they and Numitor at first try to negotiate before Rome attacks
Then Yemos is in Rome where he learns a lot more goes into being a man in the empire. It's not enough to have a cock. Anyone who is penetrated sexually is considered unmanly and because Yemos has a pussy that can be used he is an 'unman' but still not a woman. He gets put in Roman woman's clothes while at home he and Enitos run around dressed in boys' tunics that showed their legs. They want him to shave his beard but he nearly bit the first person to come near him with a razor so they left him to it. Note: in ancient Rome men-boy/men-lower class men sex is okay as long as the (upper class)man isn't in the 'submissive' role aka the one taking cock. Getting a beard is seen as one of the markers of man so they're definitely weirded out the emperor seems such a fan of this omega with facial hair
In the public baths they weren't sure what to do with him because he's a male omega that doesn't fit their sensibilities of what a male omega should look, tall bearded muscled and broad-shouldered even as he dresses like a respectable matron, but sending him to the men's baths would be accusing this omega with noble connections of being a whore. That's the only women and omegas in that side of the building
So they reluctantly wave him in even as the women inside did double takes at Yemos before catching his scent. And that's before they see what he's got between his legs 👀 can see Yemos annoyed because both in Rome and alba Longa someone always has a problem with his looks
Also also Yemos hearing the women he's with complain about having large breasts, and even putting on tight breast wraps to fit the Roman empire beauty standards: ... that's a thing? In Alba Longa we like them melon-sized. Though everyone seems to like blondes
me revisiting the history of roman dynamics of subm/ssive d/ck rules + the boy men dichotomy they had etc...it's been 84 years...
Did important romans bath in the public baths, not the personal baths? I know there was public bath thermae and such, but since yemos status is both personal yet owned, mother of heirs but not a wife, would that be a factor? I reckon if yemos is with the public in that sense, he'd be with some relatively high place women? but even there my brain is static a bit to map out, so no worries lol, i'm just thinking out loud.
bring him 2 the woods any day
I feel for yemos tunic preferences, but he'd rock the roman fits 😩
(even if my pic is wrong, my feeling is right lol)
