Banquet Scene, 1st century CE

fresco on plaster

The fresco fragment displayed here illustrates the excess of banqueting culture. A guest, having consumed too much wine or rich food, stumbles forward as an enslaved attendant attempts to keep him upright. Once located in a Pompeiian triclinium (dining room), this painting likely served as a reminder to dinner guests not to overindulge.
