What were the Eunuchs exactly!?

[Reno Melitensis]

Quite an interesting topic about eunuchs. I knew something about them and their latter use in the Ottoman period and their castration, but it was lovely to read all your posts.

But I must say that I was surprised to see a post by Jona Lendering. I enjoyed reading your book "Edge of the Empire. The Romans and the Low Countries". It was a very educative reading.

Cheers
