Abstract

In 1596, the Roman physician Andrea Bacci published a natural history of wines containing staggeringly detailed descriptions of ancient Roman dinner parties drawn from his extensive reading as well as 'the authority. . . of various marble tombs' [336].Like his earlier works dealing with hot springs and the Tiber, this book seamlessly combined natural history, antiquarianism, and medicine; and ranged over many other subjects such as religious debates, the virtues of his patron, and present-day dining customs.And that was just for a start.
