OP vomitarium
Well that really rounds out the feast, doesn't it stales? It sure would be a pretty funky lookin' bath house! But it's specifications seem just right for the stated purpose. Large enough to accomodate a banqueting throng, closed-off enough to mask the act, but open enough to flatter the host by being seen as one of the multitudes wretching there. The concept of community puking never even occurred to me before this, I figured they just went off by themselves. O the charms of full-blown hedonism!
By the way, here's a url for an abstract of the Archaeology magazine cover story on Roman banqueting, "When Gluttony Ruled!" Just click on that red-highlighted title when you open the page.
