Trimalchio��s Dinner is a novel written by the author Arbiter, which was first published in 1898. The book is a satirical take on the Roman society during the reign of Emperor Nero. The novel is based on the character Trimalchio, a wealthy freedman who throws a lavish dinner party for his guests. The story is narrated by a guest who attends the dinner and observes the extravagant behavior of Trimalchio and his guests. The novel is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the dinner party. The guests are treated to a variety of exotic foods and drinks, and Trimalchio himself engages in ostentatious displays of wealth and power. However, as the night wears on, the guests begin to see through Trimalchio's fa��ade and realize that he is not as wealthy or powerful as he pretends to be. Throughout the novel, Arbiter uses humor and satire to critique the excesses of Roman society. He also explores themes such as the corrupting influence of wealth and the dangers of social climbing. The novel has been praised for its vivid descriptions of Roman life and its insightful commentary on human nature. Trimalchio��s Dinner remains a popular work of literature, and has been adapted into several stage productions and films. It is considered a classic of Roman literature and a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
