  Roman eating and drinking   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Due to the influence of Greek habits and also the increased import of and consumption of foreign foods, the cena increased in size and diversity and was consumed in the afternoon, the vesperna was abandoned, and a second breakfast was introduced around noon, the prandium.
The food would be taken with the fingertips and two kinds of spoons, the larger ligula and the smaller cochlear with a needle thin grip, which was used as prong when eating snails and molluscs, in practice substituting for the modern fork.
Gaius Petronius Arbiter: cena Trimalchionis (The feast of Trimalchio) - A satirical sketch of a feast at the home of a nouveau riche in the Roman imperial period.

 It has well been noted that the Cena Trimalchionis consciously plays with and inverts episodes and themes from its more ...
Whereas the Symposium provides a series of encomia of eros by learned gentlemen of Athens, the Cena consists in a series of vulgarly hedonistic episodes, the most prominent themes of which lie in the obsessions of its host &endash; corporeal satisfactions and death.
I argue that there are two chief parallels: firstly, an ironic correspondence in the use of mythical imagery; namely Theseus' journey through the labyrinth used as an image of the idea of a journey through death in life.
The use of the imagery of Theseus in the labyrinth in the Cena as suggestive of a journey through death (Hades) in life is well established and many clear allusions to Aeneid VI further underscore this theme (e.g.

 Listening to Encolpius: Modes of Confusion in the Satyricon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
But the essential interpretive question is whether the Cena Trimalchionis can be read in a way that is consistent with the rest of the Satyricon.
The place of genre's interpretive signals might be taken by a conversational sense of the general story, by recollections of previous recitations, by personal knowledge of the author and of the literary and social assumptions he shared with a known audience.
Just as the Cena is the self-imaging creation of Trimalchio, the Satyricon is the solipsistic narrative of Encolpius, where the major characters can be perceived both as echoes of Trimalchio and as versions of the narrator.

The Reception of the Cena Trimalchionis," JWCI 53 (1990) 237-249.
In the cena, characters use crude and vulgar language for lofty topics, as was probably the case in Roman mime and other sub-literary genres, and certainly in Herodas and the Iolaus fragment.
Petronius' parody tends to be of one genre at a time, so that one set of verbal motifs follows another, scene by scene, resulting in a sort of playful defiance of the readers' expectations of presentation, similar to the defiance of expectations of plot.

 Satyricon: a Roman Novel of the 1st Century A.D.
The largest part of the novel, a novel which unfortunately has not been handed down completely, is a section called 'Cena Trimalchionis', or the dinner at Trimalchio's.
They are invited by him and his wife Fortunata in a more than wealthy villa, to a kind of dinner they haven't witnessed yet and will likely not witness again, given for the mass of friends to the master of the house.
'Cena Trimalchionis' seems a bit overdone now and then, but it is not a scene completely overdone.

This is clearly relevant to my main concern here, the issue of whether the Cena Trimalchionis constitutes a single book : I wish to argue that it does not, and to divide it into three books.
The contribution of the present article is specifically to argue that the volume of the extant Cena is too great for a single book of ancient prose fiction, and that the beginnings and ends of three books are suggested by specific intratextual signals..
Indeed, the Cena Trimalchionis itself, as an extensive entertainment offered to the protagonist, has a clear epic ancestor in the entertainment of Odysseus in Phaeacia .

Dinner (cena) was the main meal of the day, generally served in the late afternoon.
Cena could consist simply of vegetables with olive oil for those of the lower class, or a most elaborate several-course meal for the well-to-do (or anywhere in-between, depending upon the circumstances).

That Tacitus',am is the same as the author of this book (not clearly named Cena "the Banquet" or Satyricon either, is questionable since the author of this book is a curious mixture of literary pretender, master of street slang such as we have no other in Latin, and I suspect of freedman origin.

The host of the Cena, for example, is certainly the theatrical director and protagonist of his banquet, but there is a lot more to him than just this.

Originally a large work in at least 20 books, with accounts of various adventures supposed to have taken place during a journey, it now consists of a heap of fragments, the most considerable of which is the Cena Trimalchionis, being the description of a feast given by a rich and uneducated upstart.
Though steeped in obscenity, this novel is not only highly important for the history of manners and language, especially the plebeian speech, but it is also a work of art in its way, full of spirit, fine insight into human nature, wit of a high order and genial humor.
