alikИз Гиббона:
"Faustina, the daughter of Pius and the wife of Marcus, has been as much celebrated for her gallantries as for her beauty. The grave simplicity of the philosopher was ill calculated to engage her wanton levity, or to fix that unbounded passion for variety, which often discovered personal merit in the meanest of mankind. The Cupid of the ancients was, in general, a very sensual deity; and the amours of an empress, as they exact on her side the plainest advances, are seldom susceptible of much sentimental delicacy. Marcus was the only man in the empire who seemed ignorant or insensible of the irregularities of Faustina"
Irregularities, Карл! Википедия, кстати, ничего про ее "irregularities " не пишет.
PS. Похоже, Гиббон считает, что появление такого урода на троне, как Комод - следствие этих irregularities. Строгих правил был дядя.
