Three had known men at the same time. Of these Marcia had acted by herself, granting her favours to one single knight…. Aemilia and Licinia, on the other hand, had a multitude of lovers and carried on their wanton behaviour with each other’s help. At first they surrendered themselves to some few privately and secretly, telling each man that he was the only one favoured. Later they themselves bound every one who could suspect and inform against them to certain silence in advance by the price of intercourse with them, …So besides holding commerce with various others, now singly now in groups, sometimes privately, sometimes all together, Licinia enjoyed the society of the brother of Aemilia and Aemilia that of Licinia’s brother.

(Dio Cass., 26.87)
