Convivium


I think it would be interesting to try to recreate a Roman dinner party. Lay on some Roman recipes and then get the guests to each do a turn entertaining the other guests...maybe have one tell a stirring tale of the Battle of Actium...maybe have a musically inclined guest do a little song that he or she created in a style that would fit the "times".
I've been mulling this one over for a couple of years. It's time to get it into gear and plan it up.
Of course, to keep things authentic, costumes would be compulsory :)
The greatest challenge will be to recreate a Roman triclinium or dining room because of the way they laid themselves out to eat and socialize.
