Video - The Evolution of Romance: From Ancient Rome to Victorian England

Did you know that in ancient Rome, people believed that kissing could transfer a person's soul to another? This led to the practice of kissing as a way to seal agreements and show affection. However, the idea of romance wasn't always so sweet - in medieval Europe, courtly love often involved secret affairs, forbidden passions, and elaborate rituals. Fast forward to Victorian England, where sending flowers had hidden meanings and love letters were written in elaborate codes to express one's feelings. Love has certainly had its ups and downs throughout history, but one thing remains constant - the power of romance to captivate hearts and minds.
