Prehistory to Magna Graecia

From Wikipedia

Excavations throughout Italy reveal a modern human presence dating back to the Palaeolithic period, some 200,000 years ago. In the 8th and 7th centuries BC Greek colonies were established all along the coast of Sicily and the southern part of the Italian Peninsula. Subsequently, Romans referred to this area as Magna Graecia, as it was so densely inhabited by Greeks. The colonists who started arriving in the eighth century BC brought with them their Hellenic civilization, which was to leave a lasting imprint in Italy and particularly on the culture of ancient Rome.

*****

In as much as optimal orgasms have a metaphysical dimension as the true meaning of life, optimal sexual function is the most important practical concern of every man and woman who has achieved a high degree of self-cognition.
