I imagine there must've been an angle of "men away at war have needs" for many women like Calpurnia

    Perhaps to some degree, but at least in Caesar's case, he was also a philanderer inside of the city of Rome. Notably, he carried on a lifelong affair with the Roman aristocrat Servilia (the half-sister of his inveterate enemy Cato the Younger), and, later in life, her daughter Tertia as well.

    Sometimes it seems like there wasn't anyone in Rome Caesar hadn't slept with at some point.
