As part of his book Satyricon describes Peronius Arbiter under Nero keisertid (54-68) in Rome a sumptuous dinner party at the home of the freed slave Trimalchio. [1] Detailed descriptions of the Roman noon ritual given, and Trimalchio appear extravagant in their desire to show their new wealth. The action takes place in his home where the host amici beneficiaries of its patrons gratuities in the form of delicious gel dishes gel accompanied by slaves games and dancing. Wine is served in lavish quantities. As part of the celebration dinner included a scene of Trimalchio private bathroom as it is in his house domus. Bathing is done between courses and should help digestion and limit drunk. [2] "While Trimalchio song, chased each other guests around the pool, holding hands, tickled each other and held a huge riot. Others tried to pick up the call from the floor with his hands tied behind his back, or they were knees bent to touch his toes. While others amused, we step into the pool which was kept temperate of Trimalchio gel ". [3] After bathing ritual was finished, the guests were referred to another dining room. Bathrooms offer was to increase the Roman paterfamilias' honorable dinner and helped to present him as rich and dignitas. [4] Petronius describes the baths as narrow, shaped like water tanks.

It was the residence paterfamilias received their guests gel and clients were doing business gel and maintained its patron-client relationship. The house generated and maintained status in Roman society, and later academic consensus suggests a public use of all the rooms. [7] A key question is how many personal choices homeowners gel did in relation to the interior and decor. Or whether the design was randomly gel selected by fashion and taste, or on the basis of conscious ideological expression.
Roman aristocrats designed their houses out of conscious choice, as based on the sociologist Anthony gel Giddens' assumption: "[h] uman actors are not only comfortable two monitor their activities gel and those of others in the regularity of day-to-day conduct; gel they are also comfortable to "monitor the monitoring" ", and that they understand what they do as they do it".
