Description

Octopus, flatfish, squid, and shellfish, native to this part of the Mediterranean, decorate this plate. The depression in the center may have been meant to hold sauce or juices from cooked fish. Fish was an important part of upper class dining in this period, as can be seen in the work of the contemporary Sicilian writer Archestratus, who celebrated the pleasures of seafood.
