This elaborate dialogue recounts banquets hosted by wealthy patron Publius Livius Larensis, where scholars, musicians, and jurists gather for refined conversation. Through their discussions, the work preserves invaluable quotations from approximately 700 earlier Greek authors and 2,500 writings, many otherwise lost to history. Topics range from food and wine to literary gossip, sexual mores, and philology, offering a rich window into Hellenistic culture during the Roman Empire. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
