How Romans Enjoyed Life.

The lavish expenditure of the Ro-
mans on the coma, the great meal of
the day, was often fabulous. Fitellius
is actually reported to have %sqrander-
ed 400 sestertia, about Is, 22S, on his
daily supper, though surely this must
be a monstrous eX~aggcration! The
celebrated feast to which he invited
his brother Lucius cost 5000 scstertia,
or t4O, $50. S]uetonius relates that it
consisted of 1000 different dishes of
fish and 1000 of fowls, and this did
not exhaust the bill-of-farc. His daily
food was luxurious and varied beyond
precedent. The deserts of Lybia, the
shores of Spain, and the waters of the
Carpathian seas were diligently
searched to furnish his table with dam
ties, while the savage wilds of Britain
had to bear their part in replenishing
his larder. Had he reigned long
%Josephus says that he would have eX-
hausted the wealth of the Roman en-
pire itself.
Elius Verus, another of these worth
les, was equally p~rofuse in the extrav-
agance of his suppers. It is said that
a single entertainment, to which only
a dozen guests were invited, cost g.
0O0, 900 senterces-6,OO 900 scslcrtia. that
is-or nearly 94S, 500. History relates
that his whole life was passed eating
and drinking, in the voluptuous re-
treats of Daphne, or at the luxurious
banquets of Antioch. So profuse, in
deed, was the extravaganza of these
times that to entertain an emperor
was to face almost certain ruin; on
dish done at the table of Heliogabalus
is said to have cost about "a, 900 of our
money. No wonder these imperial
feasts were heightened u for hours,
and that every artilicc, often revolving
in the extreme, was used to prolong
the pleasure of eating, or thai Philoxo-
nus should have wished that he had
the throat of q ran will, 2 delicate
palate all the way down. One does
not like to associate the name of
Julius Caesar with habits of low glut-
tony hat would disgrace a prize
fighter, and yet, if our memory does
not play us false, even he did not dis
dain to take emetics to return to his
banquets with a keen appetite Nd

and appeared at the bar with all the

in attendance who assisted him through
the corridors of the Capitol and down
the stairs. AS | saw him recently he
seemed to have renewed his lease on
life. He was far more active, and, he
spoke with much nor vigor when he
stood at the bar to make a motion. The
view I had of him from the visitors
lobby and while he sat in a group of
lawyers and when he arose to address
the Court, instantly struck me as max
ing a strong contrast with the enfee-
blcd condition that caught my atten-
ton nearly a year ago.
