>Svetonio had a great imagination Or maybe he just wrote down some of the craziest rumors? Individually I think I could buy most of them individually, but together they just seem too much. He married a guy after castrating him and also got married to a guy with himself dressed as the bride? I guess I would consider it more believable if they seemed more 'congruent'. |

Social norms were very different for regular people, imagine being the emperor, especially Nero, whose family history make GOT look like a family camping...
Another example is Elagabalus, who is considered the first example of a transgender emperor in history.

In ancient times homosexuality wasn't a problem at all.
Just look at Greek history
