Note: the original version of this article was based on W. C. Firebaugh's notes in his translation of the Satyricon of Petronius Arbiter, which are in the public domain.
Then all of those sections which are lifted from the Satyricon should be marked as quotations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.125.60.1 (talk) 14:36, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
This text is in dire need of modernization; many of its arguments and conclusions have also probably long since been made obsolete by modern scholarship, but it's a place to start. -- The Anome (talk) 20:12, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Oppian Law
The "Oppian Law" section still contains a lot of Firebaugh's own POV, and needs to be updated to a more neutral treatment. -- The Anome (talk) 09:09, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
German Wikipedia
The German-language Wikipedia has an article de:Prostitution in der Antike (Google machine translation) which deals with prosititution in both Greek and Roman antiquity, that has reached excellent article status. This may be a good starting point for research to improve this article.
The Dutch-language nl:Prostitutie in het oude Rome looks good too. (Google machine translation) -- The Anome (talk) 18:58, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
