Trimalchio's Feast by Petronius

It made me think. I do believe there is a great deal of symbolism, yet I found the audiobook more interesting in translation.

 This book contains a selection of The Satyricon by Petronius.
I do not know if it is the translation or the book itself but this one was not for me.

An interesting look at a Roman feast that even the narrator thinks is ostentatious.

“Can't you see that I'm only advising you to beg yourself not to be so dumb?”
