I was wandering through the ruins of Pompeii at the time
of day when shadows begin to lengthen, and a cool breeze comes off the
bay. As I moved towards the House of the Vetii, I was aware of the
scent of fresh baked bread and roasted fish from a farm adjoining the
historical ruins. The aroma transported me back to a time when the city
was alive. The air filled with the aroma of freshly cooked foods and
the voices of men, women, and children. As I stood there lost in the
moment, I could almost hear a ghostly voice say, "Tomorrow Valerius
Severus is hosting a dinner party, and as always, the food and
conversation will be beyond measure."
