What do you know about the story of "dinner with Trimalchio"?

Question

include details.

Answer 1

The dinner with Trimalchio is Encolpius' account of a visit to Trimalchios house for dinner. It is the closest thing that we have to a full "chapter" of "The Satyricon" but even this episode is not complete - it starts part of the way into the story. The whole of the Satyricon may have been up to 26 books long and this has been deemed by classicists to be book 15 , they know this because other Roman and medieval authors wrote about the size and the extent of the original Satyricon, although often they wrote in very vague terms about it.
