An informative and richly set of illustrated presentations followed by a
discussion with experts on ancient Roman art, architecture and philosophy.
Learn about the ways ancient Romans dined, how they enjoyed their food, how
they stored and prepared meals from the kitchen to the richly decorated
triclinium. Speakers include Maryl Gensheimer (University of
Maryland), Alexander Nagel (Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC), Matthew
Roller (Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore) and Robert Lindley Vann
(University of Maryland), who will present results of their research on the
context of food and dining in the ancient Roman world.
