‘Roman Life – Dining’
The Romans typically ate three meals daily, with dinner considered the most important meal. It also allowed an important social occasion – the dinner party. This exercised the social institution of patronage; allowed the host to show off the best tableware and mosaics; and to surprise the guests with the selection of food and wine on offer.
