My own interpretation is that it’s hard to hide bruises on a naked body.
Considering that the ancient Greeks literally allowed men to murder their wives under certain conditions, I’d say that seeing bruises on a woman’s body would elicit no outcry amongst them.
Also… fuck ancient Greece. And fuck the Roman empire, too.
I was curious so I did a tiny amount of research and as it turns out, you’re pretty much in line with the data.
Information on ancient Greeks beating their wives is pretty sparse and what little we have suggests that it was so common that it barely deserved mention.
Beat their wives, fucked their kids, and gave rise to the society we’ve inherited today.

Persia should have one at Thermopylae
Were there laws allowing wives to murder their husbands under certain conditions?
None that I’ve heard of.
What do you mean “fuck them”, they don’t exist any more…

Yeah this was more about the dudes not wanting anyone to see their women naked…dead or not.
