EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a profligate Roman son, believed to be the son of the tragedian Aesop, indulging in a sumptuous feast at home as documented in Valerius Maximus' Facta et Dicta Memorabilia (Memorable Deeds and Sayings), written in 1475. The ancient Roman text recounts the extravagant lifestyle of this young man, who entertains himself with priceless singing-birds, fine food, and exotic drinks. The scene is set in a richly decorated Roman interior, with intricate mosaic floors, ornate columns, and colorful textiles adorning the walls. The Roman host reclines on a couches, surrounded by a bountiful table laden with an array of dishes, including roasted meats, fruits, and bread. In his hand, he holds a drinking cup, while a servant pours a refreshing beverage into it. At the center of the table, three singing-birds are perched on elegant stands, their beaks open in song. The birds, prized for their melodic voices, add an air of sophistication and entertainment to the meal. The young Roman, dressed in elegant robes and with a satisfied expression on his face, seems to be fully immersed in the pleasures of the moment. This image offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the ancient Romans, and the importance they placed on food, drink, and entertainment as essential elements of daily life. Valerius Maximus' account of the profligate son of Aesop serves as a reminder of the excesses and indulgences that could be found even in the most esteemed Roman households.
