Part 2/9:
Recent excavations in Pompeii, particularly in the region known as "region 9," revealed a fresco that showcases a silver tray filled with an unconventional flatbread adorned with various toppings, including assorted fruits and a goblet of wine. This art style, known as xenia, originates from Greek culture, symbolizing the social contract of hospitality between hosts and their guests, where food offerings are central.
