Pollion Vedius, Roman gastronome, famous for his cruelty towards his slaves. To catch them, he would throw them alive to his murenes. One day Augustus (Caius Octavius Thurinus) was eating at his home, so he made a slave precipitate, guilty of breaking a cup. The emperor, unworthy, had all the crystals of the house broken before him and filled the holding. Engraving from the end of the 19th century.
