Petronius. Now here was ...I think I would go for:<BR/><BR/>1. Petronius. Now here was a guy who knew how to have fun in style, so much so that Nero employed him basically for that purpose. He even died elegantly, opening a vein and bleeding painlessly to death while he told his guests filthy stories about his now-not-so-beloved emperor.<BR/><BR/>2. Horace. From his poems, you would imagine that he knew how to have a good, enjoyable, but not over-the-top dinner party, very much in the Epicurean way. And not likely to end the night ranting and raving against the world in general, as I suspect Catullus would do.<BR/><BR/>3. Varro. This guy was the most extraordinary polymath of his era (even more so than Cicero, apparently), and would be able to hold a good conversation on just about any topic. To be preferred to Cicero, I think, who would probably try to bring the topic back to politics or philosophy, and would probably try to snatch that last drink out of your hand because he REALLY wanted you to understand the point he was making...Mike Salterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133817212055957800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29638226.post-76217077409939894972008-06-03T16:56:00.000+10:002008-06-03T16:56:00.000+10:00yes, i would be tempted to invite Livy to dinner- ...yes, i would be tempted to invite Livy to dinner- if only so i could punch him in the face.<BR/><BR/>seumas, i take your point about cicero, but i think it would be worth it for a few hours. vergil is undoubtedly a great writer, but i find it hard to get a sense of his personality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29638226.post-64756012593439984832008-06-02T21:39:00.000+10:002008-06-02T21:39:00.000+10:00I would invite Vergil, Caesar, and Tacitus.

I suspect Caesar would make good company though, while it would just be delightful to see what Tacitus had to say to Caesar.jeltzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016160098665044867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29638226.post-26095586825672319412008-06-02T20:24:00.000+10:002008-06-02T20:24:00.000+10:00Livy.
