caldrail 152 Report post Posted January 16, 2021 Tavern life in ancient Rome could well have been a lively experience. Witness the images in Pompeii of situations the landlord does not want happening, rather like 'this is banned' posters. Despite the demand for orderly behaviour, there seems to be a certain sense of humour in portraying things this way. Expedient, obviously, because posters as such are less likely to be read than a scene is viewed, and because paint is more available than paper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's see: alcohol, gambling, possible prostitutes, etc. No, i can't see it being a recipe for problems.
