1 min 24 seconds per for the 1k attempt for those of you who haven't done the math.  Realistically 1 min per allowing for swap outs and bathroom breaks.   I assume hydration and food will be done on the fly.

what happened with the 100? was it every guy nuts in her or what?

All we have are the histories.

i mean sure. but if procopius wrote "justinian kept his beard neatly trimmed" i'd wonder what the political angle was and try to decide whether he was actually clean shaven or had a wild man beard. if tacitus wrote "yeah it was wild all the celts in asia minor were 6 ft tall and red haired" then I'd say huh sounds like we have a credible source that lots (most?) celts in asia minor were tall and red-headed.

is this a real thing? or is it a "procopius wrote it" thing?

It’s Livy. And don’t be bagging on Procopius. Love that guy.

No question that the ancient historians had agendas. Procopius even wrote “A Secret History” where he was incredibly candid and judgemental. Tacitus often sermonized. The famous line about the Romans supposedly spoken by Calgacus to his warriors before the Battle of Mons Graupus: “They create a desert and call it peace” was almost certainly an invention by Tacitus who had soured on imperial expansion. So as with modern writing ancient history must be viewed critically, but in the end it’s all we got and very little survived.

I mean, Claudius was an old crippled dude who was far from home at the time and she was by all accounts a smoke show.

Did she really win a 24 hour off against the best whores in Rome?  Seems fantastical but here we are 2k years later talking about the same thing lol

It was a long time ago, maybe whore technology was just not very advanced. She had a threesome and people were like "WTF you can do that? omg!!!!!!"

I don’t think we’d be able to teach much to the Imperial Roman nobility regarding orgiastic events.

Claudia Pulchra had a political rival call her a cheap whore.  She retaliated by having dozens of men gang rape him as her supporters among the people threw copper coins at him.

The reaction among the rest of the Patrician class was "yassss girl, slay it queen".
