Lecture 1. "Table Hopping Through History."  From the Greek Symposium to the banquet table of Henry VIII

Held to strengthen alliances in politics, business and marriage, formal dinners and banquets have maintained an essential social purpose through recorded time. Indeed, much of Western history has been written throughout a meal. And so, in our exploration of the evolution of the dining table, we will go “table- hopping” visiting Agathon of Athens and  Nero at his  Domus Aurora. We will travel to Renaissance Italy, Medieval England to discover how makers of history dined.
