For most inhabitants of the Roman world, lodging consisted only of a tiny room, not much different from a beehive cell, inside a multistoried and often very precarious building. It is no wonder, then, that the Romans used to live outdoors as much as possible! In the largest cities, squares, public baths, shops and markets were crowded with people from the remotest corners of the whole Empire, clad in strange and colorful clothes, speaking with exotic accents. It goes without saying that in such a dynamic and multicultural society, that had elected diversity as one of its most important resources, places like pothouses (thermopolia) and taverns (popiniae) were extremely popular, both out of necessity and… of pleasure!

One inscription from Isernia, currently at the Louvre Museum, offers a glimpse on the playful world of a Roman inn, the very special inn managed by Lucius Callidus Eroticus, a former slave, and Fannia Voluptas. Mr. Erotic and Ms. Pleasure, or (as Mary Beard paraphrases the surnames in a blog post dedicated to this text) “Mr. Hot Sex” and “Madame Gorgeous”. No doubt, a marriage made in heaven!

Most likely, judging from the first line, this inscription is part of the funerary monument that Eroticus made for himself and Ms. Pleasure; the extant monument includes also a relief that depicts the funny scene which is so vividly enacted in the text. The monument is reproduced in the image above. The scene (and the joke that it tells) can be appreciated in the translation below:
– Innkeeper! Let’s work out the bill!
– You’ve had a sextarius of wine, and bread: one as. Relish, two asses.
– Okay.
– The girl, eight asses.
– That’s okay too.
– Hay for the mule, two asses.
– That bloody mule will be the ruin of me.

Apache2 Debian Default Page: It works 
Apache2 Debian Default Page
It works!This is the default welcome page used to test the correct operation of the Apache2 server after installation on Debian systems. If you can read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly. You should replace this file (located at /var/www/html/index.html) before continuing to operate your HTTP server.
If you are a normal user of this web site and don't know what this page is about, this probably means that the site is currently unavailable due to maintenance. If the problem persists, please contact the site's administrator.
Configuration OverviewDebian's Apache2 default configuration is different from the upstream default configuration, and split into several files optimized for interaction with Debian tools. The configuration system is fully documented in /usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz. Refer to this for the full documentation. Documentation for the web server itself can be found by accessing the manual if the apache2-doc package was installed on this server.
The configuration layout for an Apache2 web server installation on Debian systems is as follows:
/etc/apache2/ |-- apache2.conf | `-- ports.conf |-- mods-enabled | |-- *.load | `-- *.conf |-- conf-enabled | `-- *.conf |-- sites-enabled | `-- *.conf- apache2.conf is the main configuration file. It puts the pieces together by including all remaining configuration files when starting up the web server.
- ports.conf is always included from the main configuration file. It is used to determine the listening ports for incoming connections, and this file can be customized anytime.
- Configuration files in the mods-enabled/, conf-enabled/ and sites-enabled/ directories contain particular configuration snippets which manage modules, global configuration fragments, or virtual host configurations, respectively.
- They are activated by symlinking available configuration files from their respective *-available/ counterparts. These should be managed by using our helpers a2enmod, a2dismod, a2ensite, a2dissite, and a2enconf, a2disconf . See their respective man pages for detailed information.
- The binary is called apache2. Due to the use of environment variables, in the default configuration, apache2 needs to be started/stopped with /etc/init.d/apache2 or apache2ctl. Calling /usr/bin/apache2 directly will not work with the default configuration.
Document RootsBy default, Debian does not allow access through the web browser to any file apart of those located in /var/www, public_html directories (when enabled) and /usr/share (for web applications). If your site is using a web document root located elsewhere (such as in /srv) you may need to whitelist your document root directory in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
The default Debian document root is /var/www/html. You can make your own virtual hosts under /var/www. This is different to previous releases which provides better security out of the box.
Reporting ProblemsPlease use the reportbug tool to report bugs in the Apache2 package with Debian. However, check existing bug reports before reporting a new bug.
Please report bugs specific to modules (such as PHP and others) to respective packages, not to the web server itself.

A customer and the innkeeper are processing the bill at the checkout. Not an uncomfortable stay, judging from the itemized bill! There was apparently no lack of wine, bread and food, and the price of all that was more than fair. Even about the eight asses for the services of a girl the costumer doesn’t seem to have any complaint, quite the contrary.
As (Roman coin)
-
The as (pl.: assēs), occasionally assarius (pl.: assarii, rendered into Greek as ἀσσάριον, assárion), was a bronze, and later copper, coin used during the Roman Republic and Roman Empire.

But… what about those two asses for the hay? Two asses, just like for the main course (of the human customer)… Surely, the innkeeper doesn’t want to ruin a poor man by charging this sum; can’t anything be worked out? A small discount on the mule’s expenses maybe? Food, wine, girls and hay for the mule: this gentleman clearly knew his priorities, and who are we to blame him?
After all, if we see the situation from the opposite angle, we cannot but praise Mr. Erotic and Ms. Pleasure for their liberality! Did they serve the same food to both human and animal customers? Was it the regular house policy or just a special treat for this nice mule? For, judging from what we see in the relief, it seems that the beast had enjoyed the stay no less than its master. Is it just me, or is a big smile visible on the face of the mule?
