Episode 1.3.b

>Caecilius's Villa, Pompeii, Italy, 79 CE<

Tiberius reappears in the doorway of the atrium, barely containing himself.

 

"Euphorbus is almost finished with his preparations," he announces. "Come on."

 

He leads you through to the trīclīnium. The room is set for dinner, the couches arranged around the low table in the Roman way. Caecilius comes in and settles onto his couch with the ease of a man who has done it ten thousand times. Tiberius does the same, with considerably less ease. You take a place as well.

 


Prompt: Dine like a Roman.
