Gossips of Antiquity-long shorts- part3 Daily life in Constantinople in the 6th century

Pornai Street where the simple actresses who are counted somewhere at the bottom and throw the men they head off in the nooks and crannies of Pornai Street after the theatre play to one of the private rooms upstairs in Barbario’s tavern. Courtezans who hang out with only noble and wealthy men. An uneasy gaze of a Blue, who walks alone with fast steps by camouflaging his face and ponytail hair so that he does not appear to be a partisan, and knows that if he encounters a large group of Greens, he will be beaten up, wanders on the oncoming people. Gossips about the perversions going on in the nook spots of baths, fights over horse races, corrupt informants trying to make money by getting innocent people arrested, and of course bribery judges.
In this city, people want to be called Romans, not Greeks. Especially if you call them Helen by mistake, you can even get beaten up. Helen means Pagan. Pagansa is the name given to heretics who still secretly worship the ancient Gods, although it is now forbidden.
