This fresco shows a convivium (dinner party) where all the guests and servants are women-the only known example of such a scene from Roman art. The participants seem perfectly respectable but have clearly been drinking, as evidenced by the small table piled with drinking vessels and the woman standing in the center holding a wine ladle.
