Food and Feasting in Classical Art

With Dr Gail-Nina Anderson, Cultural Historian

An illustrated talk exploring how food and feasting were represented in the ancient world. From Egyptian tomb paintings and Greek vases to Roman mosaics and early Christian murals, discover how art reveals social significance, rituals, and later how portrayals in film helped shape the modern image of lavish Roman banquets.

A LIVE Lit & Phil Event | FREE
