Have a close look at this inscribed marble tablet from the Roman ruins of Ephesus, in Turkey.
Take note of the love heart and female face sketches.
This is an advertisement for a Roman Brothel! It’s an ancient billboard! The large foot image was pointing in the direction of where this establishment was located in Ephesus.
I assume this was a well frequented place for numerous Roman soldiers after they had finished a hard day’s work of administering the empire.
It’s no wonder that prostitution is called the world’s oldest profession, and that was demonstrated clearly by this Roman tablet at Ephesus!

It also proves that when you find a business formula that works then it’s best to stick to it. This business has certainly been spinning money for eternity!!! I’m tempted to say more power to money making brothels but that kinds sounds wrong lol
