Yes and no.

For male homosexuality it wasn't seen as bad to top another man, since it was a position of power.
To be on the receiving end though? Not so much accepted and seen as shameful.

And misogyny was already strong in Roman culture even before Christianity came. I can't remember ever reading about female homosexuality in Roman times.

So since the comic is about female on male kinky stuff, the woman better submit to the Roman to be accepted back home in Rome.

I can’t remember ever reading about female homosexuality in Roman times.

There are intermittent references, but it was never as 'focused-on' as male homosexuality.
