Serious Prostitution Prices in Ancient Rome .vs Now

[Deleted member 30146]

Ancient Rome


“The fees recorded at Pompeii range from 2 to 20 asses per client” source

“It is believed that these women were given between two and 16 asses for their services.” source

Let's round it up to 10 asses.


Average wages in ancient Rome by profession:

Farm laborer, with maintenance (daily) 25 asses. Carpenter, as above (daily) 50 asses source

Average salary in US for a laborer is about $15, for carpenter $25.

A carpenter in US working 8 hours a day can make $200, a carpenter in ancient Rome 50 asses. If escort costs 10 asses that’s 20% of his salary, for a carpenter from US the price would come at $40.

Concluding in Ancient Rome prices of an escort was average escort was $40 in today’s money. While on the lowest end $8, at a highest end with a best looking escort and everything included $80.

Rome Today

€ 150 - € 250

On average prices are 5 times higher today.

It's because it's illegal and more women just collect welfare money than need to be prostitute

This was before feminism and "you go girl" type of propaganda brainwashing
also women back then arguably weren't as attractive as modern day high end escorts and hookers
JFL in modern day you can't even get a blowjob for 40$ lol

If brothels would be legal in Finland, it would halve the prices. From 100 euros to 50 euros for foreigner prostitute and from 160/150 euros to 80 or 75 euros for Finnish prostitutes (30 minutes max.). Prices would still be higher than in the Netherlands and Belgium. Because less foreigner supply, more demand from Finnish subhumans compared to handsome, tall Germanic Dutch men, and generally everything here is more expensive while the wages are less and taxes higher. Less competition also, because of small population in a big land area, unlike the Netherlands and Belgium.

Netherlands and Belgium prices:

Based on those prices, the prices would still be double here.


Do we have more evidence about "escortcelling" becoming more expensive over time other than the thread in the Must read section regarding Victorian England?

What about other service prices? Like massage, barber?

2 to 20 is enormous price range. Nowadays all the escorts here have the same prices. Cartel.

A 10 minute dirty crack addict for 20-30 euros, a luxury one can be a $500-$1000, I'm talking about averages, are you familiar with this concept?
