'Fascinating we will never be able to recapture the experience of any of the pleasures that inspired Horace in his resolution to pluck the day. But thanks to Andrew Dalby, we now have a much better sense of all the manifold luxuries of the Roman world. It is in this that the value of his book truly lies.' - Tom Holland, Literary Review 'An unashamed celebration of the ancient life of luxury [Dalby] has done what he set out to do and done it with wit, panache, a vast range of reference, many shrewd observations and a wealth of wonderful stories.' - Peter Jones, The Sunday Telegraph 'Andrew Dalby's scholarly and entertaining book about food, sex and the fizz of social life is set in the Roman Empire at the period of its greatest power and prosperity.' - Humphrey Carpenter, The Sunday Times 'It will bring joy and enlightenment to anyone who has an interest in classical literature and culture.' - Palo Alto Daily News, 'cholarly and entertaining book about food, sex, and the fizz of social life'- Humphrey Carpenter, Sunday Times 'This book is the ideal companion for the armchair tourist.'- Classical Review, 'cholarly and entertaining book about food, sex, and the fizz of social life' - Humphrey Carpenter, Sunday Times 'This book is the ideal companion for the armchair tourist.' - Classical Review, '[A] scholarly and entertaining book about food, sex, and the fizz of social life' - Humphrey Carpenter, Sunday Times 'This book is the ideal companion for the armchair tourist.' - Classical Review
