A Spontaneous Kiss: Deep Affection Between Soldiers

In the world of ancient Rome, where camaraderie and adventure defined the lives of soldiers, deep emotions sometimes ignited between them, leading to profound friendships and even erotic or sexual connections.

Roman society had a much more open view of love and relationships than many later eras. Among Roman soldiers, camaraderie and trust among comrades were highly esteemed. It was not uncommon for close emotional bonds to form between men who faced adventures and challenges together.

During this era, homoerotic relationships were not as stigmatized as they would be in later history. They were often regarded as expressions of friendship and mutual respect. It reminds us that love and affection have existed in all their forms throughout every era. Acceptance of love between individuals, regardless of gender or orientation, is an essential part of human history—a timeless truth that love can bloom anywhere, even in the most unexpected moments of history. It is a tribute to the power of human emotions and the diversity of human love that connects us in every age.

Israel - Masada, The Fortress On The Sky

In the tiny rental car the Judaean Desert felt even more huge. A black bitumen road navigates between stony fields, rocky areas and along deep, dry valleys with some rare, green oasis. I have to admit, i always do enjoy traveling trough lonely deserts. All in a sudden a deep blue surface appeared on the edge of a plateau. I reached the Dead Sea region. Not far from here i arrived at the foot of…

The Baths of the Roman Empire

An infographic illustrating a typical Roman bathhouse design and elements. The Baths of the Roman Empire were a complex network of public facilities playing a major role in the daily lives of the citizens of the empire. Most Roman baths followed a similar layout of interconnected rooms and spaces, including a frigidarium (cold room), tepidarium (warm room), and caldarium (hot room), along with an apodyterium (changing room), natatio (swimming pool), and palaestra (exercise areas). This standardized arrangement allowed bathers to navigate the complex with familiarity regardless of their location within the empire.

Jugendstil Bathhouses and Winter Gardens A Place for Relaxation, Recreation, and Connection

At the beginning of the 20th century, during the Art Nouveau era, bathhouses became popular destinations for relaxation and recreation. They offered visitors the opportunity to unwind in a natural setting while enjoying the benefits of a bath. Homosexual individuals could gather in Art Nouveau bathhouses to express their romantic affections. Although this was not officially sanctioned, it was generally tolerated. The glass pavilions and glass houses of these bathhouses also provided a degree of anonymity, allowing homosexual individuals to meet without fear of discrimination or violence.

Many Art Nouveau bathhouses were designed in the form of glass pavilions or glass houses. This architectural style allowed ample light and air, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The glass surfaces could often be opened to connect the interior with the outdoors.

An example of such a bathhouse is the Nordhausen Bathhouse in Germany. Designed by the architect Bruno Taut and constructed in 1902-1903, it is a two-story glass pavilion with a large glass front that could be fully opened, seamlessly merging the interior with the outdoor environment.

During this time, there were other opportunities for LGBT individuals to meet, such as LGBT clubs and bars. Additionally, there was a range of LGBT magazines and newspapers. These developments were significant steps toward greater societal acceptance of LGBT people.

Dans Le Jardin This boutique hotel in Nîmes is a tranquil oasis, secluded and yet set in the heart of the town. From the songbirds in the walled garden and the paraphernalia carefully placed in the communal areas to the individual styling of the bedrooms, every detail of ‘Jardins Secrets’ has been considered. This 18th-century, Tuscan-style villa has been decadently transformed into an opulent treasure of hotel. Boudoir-style rooms, many set around an Italian cloister, seduce guests with four-poster beds, rich fabrics and standalone tubs. In summer, bask around the pool, or cocoon yourself in the secret spa and Roman bath. Ring the bell and push open the heavy door to find the hotel in its secret hiding place on a quiet residential street. This isn’t in the most exciting part of town, although for many that will be part of the appeal, but the hotel is still only a short walk to many of Nîmes’ major sights. The ‘Arènes de Nîmes’ is just 10 minutes by foot, the ‘Maison Carrée’ just five minutes more and both are surrounded by plenty of bistros and cafes. It will take you nearly 30-minutes to reach 'La Tour Magne’ by foot, although the very pretty park setting is a reward once you’ve made it. Apparently stressed-out Parisians who come here to escape for a weekend love the close proximity to the train station, which is just a four-minute walk-away, just a few minutes more and you’ll already be settled by the crackling fire, drink in hand. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #villa #decadence #opulence #secretspa #heatedoutdoorpool #romanbath #escape #olivetrees #bougainvillea #luxury #fourposterbeds #walledgarden #pablopicasso #familyrun #nîmes #jardinssecrets (at Hôtel Jardins Secrets) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdu_QyZIhl7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
