This site holds the class projects for Latin 398 Special Topics: Roman Dining<\/strong> in the University of Richmond Department of Classical Studies<\/a> (taught by Dr. Elizabeth Baughan in 2019, 2022, and 2024). The translations and commentaries here have been prepared by Latin students for students without knowledge of Latin, in Classics 212: Dining and Drinking in Antiquity<\/strong> and First-Year Seminar: Wining and Dining in the Ancient Mediterranean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Course description for Latin 398 Roman Dining:<\/em><\/strong> Catullus and Martial invited friends to dinner parties in some of their verses. Juvenal satirized imperial banquets while Statius glorified them. Pliny\u2019s letters give fascinating details about the many dining rooms of his countryside estates, including water channels for floating appetizers. In this advanced Latin course, we read selections from Latin poetry, satire, letters, historical prose, inscriptions, and even cookbooks to explore the world of the convivium<\/em> and the history and significance of eating, drinking, and dining in Roman society. Students work together to create modern, accessible English translations and commentaries for key texts that will be used by future students in courses on ancient dining and to prepare a Roman-style convivium<\/em> using real Roman recipes.<\/p>\n Background image: detail of ‘Asarotos oikos’ or ‘Unswept Floor’ mosaic, Vatican Museum<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ffffff” vertical_offset_tablet=”0″ horizontal_offset_tablet=”0″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”20px|||” z_index_tablet=”0″ box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_divider color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” divider_weight=”40px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”http:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/romandining\/files\/2022\/05\/museum-11.png” background_size=”contain” background_repeat=”repeat-x” vertical_offset_tablet=”0″ horizontal_offset_tablet=”0″ min_height=”40px” z_index_tablet=”0″ border_color_all=”#000000″ border_width_top=”2px” border_width_bottom=”2px” border_width_top_tablet=”2px” border_width_top_phone=”2px” border_width_bottom_tablet=”2px” border_width_bottom_phone=”2px” box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About this siteThis site holds the class projects for Latin 398 Special Topics: Roman Dining in the University of Richmond Department of Classical Studies (taught by Dr. Elizabeth Baughan in 2019, 2022, and 2024).
