Document Summary
Washing hands in snow-cooled water and fine wine . Roasted pigwith cake piglets surrounded, when cut bird fly out of it. Trying to get respect, but from low class citizens. Once group telling the story of homer came in, telling it in greek. Trimalchio talks over it, asks if they ask know the story (his version is entirely wrong) But encolpivus and his colleagues don"t know greek, so they believe trimalchio"s version. To read this work is to patronized how ridiculous these upstarted freedman are. Written in time after emperor caludius gave administrative power to the slaves. This tomb as told by the imagery is for a baker. A baker has become fabulously wealthy in the imperial period. This is a tomb of a freedman, who was a baker of bread. Shows how things have changed, and how slaves can become free and wealthy. Quintilian: satire at any rate is all our own.
