This fascinating book envelops the reader in a world devoted to the titillation and fulfilment of the senses, recapturing the Roman Empire as it was sensed and imagined by those who lived in it. Dalby presents an evocative survey of how the Romans themselves depicted and visualised their food, wine and entertainments in literature and in art, inspired as they were by their extraordinary desire for worldly pleasures.
With numerous illustrations and tempting descriptions that conjure up the exotic aromas and flavours of the Roman World, Empire of Pleasures is a worthy follow up to Dalby's previous work, the award winning Siren Feasts.
