It is, at hast, a curious fact that the Latin fornicari and its derivatives, take their start from the fornices, the vaults or cells which were the haunts of the harlots of Rome. Looking to the fact that all the worst forms of sensual evil came to Rome from the East, and specially from Syria - "Jampridem in Tiberim Syrus defluxit Orontes" (Juv., 'Sat.', 3:62) - it seems probable that the practice was a survival of the custom to which Ezekiel refers.
