Dining with the Dead in Imperial Rome

Image via Flickr/Chris (CC BY-ND 2.0) We’re back with a whole new season of feasting! Join us for a very special Halloween episode that takes us back to February in ancient Rome. Tag along with a Roman family as they prepare for the annual festival of Parentalia, where the best parties in town are happening down at the graveyard. Find out how to appease an angry Roman ghost with a lovely bouquet of roses and some…black beans? See how the Romans engineered their tombs to be homes away from home, complete with dining tables, bars, even kitchens. Grab a seat at an epic feast, held in the finest tomb money could buy.  Written & Produced by Laura Carlson Technical Direction by Mike Portt Episode Soundtrack Available Here More information on Roman funerary feasts, including pictures, maps, and more.
