ROMANS DON'T DRINK MILK
If you ask Lucius Cornelius Sulla whether Romans drank milk, he will laugh at you. Milk was only for the Greeks. One Roman woman I channeled mentioned milk being used as a medicine to treat confused old people.
WHY NO PANTS?
Roman men wore no warm pants to cover their legs and feet out in the battlefield or out in nature, even if it was cold out at night. It is because god Mars who is the god of fire was meant to awaken in them and make them warm from the inside. Roman soldier Plutarchus tells us in the book "Plutarchus" about how he and his fellow soldiers were dying of the cold when they reached a snowy settlement in the north which they brutally conquered. It was not enough to try to cover themselves and their face with the cape at the back.
I WOULDN'T LIE IF I WERE YOU
Romans are likely to believe your word even when you say something unbelievable. One would not expect someone to lie. And that is because liars that are caught get their tongues taken out.
SLAVES COULD REDEEM THEMSELVES
It seems that any male slave had the option to prove himself to the Roman gods and earn the status as a real Roman citizen. Romans took slaves from all over in neighboring communities. Anyone who was not a "Roman" was not important to the gods. The city of Rome itself was a stage meant to honor the gods, and the lives of Romans were lived to honor those gods. Non-Romans were meaningless since the gods did not honor such people. However, a man who was a slave and was not a Roman, he could choose to take on a military career or prove his worth at the battle arena. He might have to kill other people to prove himself. And once accepted by the Roman gods, he was no longer a slave, but a Roman.
Other slaves were simply adopted into fine Roman families, given a fine Roman name, and absorbed into Rome and no longer regarded a slave. These adopted former slaves would no longer even be written about as "slaves" in the books and records, as that would have dishonored the gods to do so. Surprisingly many Romans who are well-known today talk about being adopted from the hill of Jupiter, or of knowing someone who did adopt a son from that hill. Slave boys who were remarkably handsome were picked out and taken by Roman religion to the hill of Jupiter and named "the son of Jupiter". These boys were then adopted by fine families of Rome, especially those families that had no sons of their own. Nero and Marcus Junius Brutus were two such boys.
GODS SPEAK
The Roman gods spoke to the Roman priests in a number of ways. One was to have a large round green marble orb in a green marble dish, the orb floated on black oil inside this dish and moved by the hand of god. The priest interpreted the motion of the orb, especially to signify which direction military troops should go. These orb bowls were kept inside grand temples.
"We also threw the dice.", says an unknown Roman spirit to me now.
The rumble of thunder could literally be the thunder gods beating the war drums, said Quintus Hortensius Hortalus, and it meant that Romans must go to war. The way the wind blew in the sails was directed by the wind gods, and many sailors such as Sulla said that the wind gods decided which way the Romans sailed. And, if the gods were sailing ships into rocks, then something the navy leader had done had angered the gods to do so, read about this in "Cato and Livia and Poseidon's Pearls".
A lightning bolt that strikes a tree is very significant. Better yet, when that lightning hits a person, then that person has been chosen by god to become wealthy and prosperous. "Women should not write about these things.", says now an uknown Roman spirit. "Or we will cut your hair off.", the Roman adds. So let's just leave it at that.
ROMAN MEN CAN CRY
Romans use a wide repertoire of body language, especially with their hands. But Roman men cry real tears when it is called upon by the circumstances. It was not un-manly for a man to cry at the right time, they would cry in front of other men too.
A LOT OF STD'S
The Romans had a lot of sexually transmittable diseases going on, especially one which causes raised flat patches of skin-colored skin around the anus and in the groin which also spreads to the arms and face and tongue and inside the mouth. They were aware that they contract it from male prostitutes, and they might blame the Greeks for sending this disease over.

GREEKS - GOOD OR BAD?
The Romans envied the Greeks for having better temples for the gods and cleaner cities and a more sophisticated culture. But Rome had chosen to be a war-based community which let the gods lead them to war, whereas the gods led the Greeks to poetry and culture. Many times the Romans express jealousy and something like sibling rivalry against the Greeks, such as Julius Caesar who mocked them for their "weak wine"!
ROMANS DRANK LEAD
This one probably everyone knows, but it's different hearing it in their own words. Romans could drink lead to come closer to the gods, it affected their eyesight and gave them powers. (Kids, don't eat lead, it is extremely poisonous and the poor Romans did not know that.)
HALLUCINOGENS
Romans used a lot of various types of hallucinogen drugs to induce a state where they could see and interact with the gods. One was a plant whose leaves were made into the wreath that is worn on the head of those who are part of the priesthood cult, both women and men could wear these leaf wreaths. They also talk about a "tea" made of different plants which did the same.
POSEIDON WAS PROBABLY GAY
The god of the sea Poseidon was thought by the Romans to probably be a homosexual man since he sank so many ships that had handsome young men on them. Poseidon sank ships to take the goods and people that were on those ships, usually he only did that if he was angry at the owner of the ship. The Romans believed that the people who drowned for Poseidon were still alive under the sea and that their lives could be returned if only Poseidon wanted it. Poseidon ate pearls, that is why his "meals" the pearls were found on "plates" the flat seashells. You learn a lot more of Poseidon by reading "Cato and Livia and Poseidon's Pearls". Poseidon liked women too, but he seemed to prefer men.
FEVER
If a person had a fever then god Mars of fire was causing it. If a person died of fever, something which must have been tremendously common since almost every Roman I channel mentions someone who was dying of a fever, then it meant that the god of fire Mars was taking them away. Fever especially affected women in childbirth.
