Why Roman Banquets Were an AWFUL, Gluttonous Ordeal | Boring History for Sleep
Imagine a feast: delicious food, good company, maybe a bit of wine. Sounds great, right? Now, erase that image and replace it with hours of endless, bizarre courses, questionable hygiene, intense social pressure, and enough food to make you literally sick. Welcome to the awful, gluttonous ordeal of a Roman banquet, where showing off meant enduring an extreme test of endurance for both your stomach and your social standing.

In this episode of Boring History for Sleep (which will make you incredibly grateful for a sensible dinner portion!), we're taking a deep, stomach-churning dive into the surprising realities of ancient Roman dining. From the truly strange ingredients and experimental dishes, the excessive alcohol consumption, the dubious entertainment, and the infamous "vomitoriums" (or lack thereof!), we're uncovering every indulgent and often disgusting detail of these ancient feasts.

So dim the lights, get cozy, and maybe don't snack too heavily while watching this one. You'll learn a ton about Roman culture, ancient social dynamics, and why a simple meal with friends is truly a luxury. You'll definitely appreciate modern manners (and less questionable food choices) a whole lot more. Who knew feasting could be such an utterly awful experience?
