His men had just finished their task when Fergus, standing just outside the entrance to the Principia, noticed an enclosed litter, carried by four sturdy litter-bearers coming towards him. A clutch of female slaves followed on foot, carrying baskets, towels and clothes and from inside the litter Fergus could hear laughter, squeals and loud drunken voices.

“Oh shit,” Fergus muttered as he realised what was about to happen, but before he could do anything or warn Aledus, Hadrian was already approaching, drawn by the noise.

And as Hadrian stepped out into the bright sunlight the litter-bearers came to an abrupt awkward halt just a few yards away. From inside the enclosed litter a woman giggled and someone else burped loudly.

“What’s the hold up?” a bold drunken-sounding male voice called out. Then an inquisitive young man’s face poked out beyond the cloth that covered the litter to see what was going on. As the young handsome man caught sight of Hadrian glaring at him from a few yards away, his face, as if in slow motion, slowly transformed into a look of sheer horror. Then with a wild, terrified yelp, the young man rolled out of the litter and onto the ground and with surprising speed he sprinted off down the street, screaming in terror. Stunned, Fergus watched the man go. The man was stark-naked and a pink ribbon had been tied around his cock.

“What’s going on?” a woman called out slurring her words. A moment later a female face poked out from the litter but as she caught sight of Hadrian, her only reaction was to roll her eyes and take a deep, weary breath.

“Oh, it’s you, husband,” Vibia Sabina, Hadrian’s wife called out in a scornful voice. “I thought we were about to be robbed. You gave poor young Antoninus such a fright.”

Standing before the litter bearers, Hadrian’s face darkened until it seemed he was about to explode with rage.

“You are a disgraceful wife,” Hadrian roared as he erupted. “You do this to humiliate me don’t you. Well I will not tolerate it any longer. It is time that you started to treat me with respect. I am your husband. I am going to be the next emperor of Rome and I expect your loyalty and devotion. But instead of this you must humiliate me at every occasion. Was that one of your latest boyfriends? I will not have my wife shagging other men in public!”

“Well, maybe I wouldn’t do it, if you ever showed some interest in me,” Vibia shouted back at her husband in a defiant, angry voice. “And as for shagging, what about all those pretty, slave boys whom you have had. Have you forgotten them? You are just as bad as I am. I will not take any lectures on love from you, husband.”

“Take her around the back entrance and dump her into bed,” Hadrian roared at the litter-bearers, “And don’t let my wife leave her room until she has sobered up. She is a disgrace to me and to Rome.
