Queer City: Gay London from the Romans to the Present Day S.T. Gibson a beautifully realized settingIn Queer City, the acclaimed Peter Ackroyd looks at London in a whole new way through the complete history and experiences of its gay and lesbian population. In Roman Londinium, the city was dotted with lupanaria ("wolf dens" or public pleasure houses), fornices (brothels), and thermiae (hot baths). Then came the Emperor Constantine, with his bishops, monks, and missionaries. And so began an endless loop of alternating permissiveness and censure.
