Video - Emperor Nero's Wild Banquets: Gnats, Roses, and a Spinning Room!
Did you know that in ancient Rome, Emperor Nero had a peculiar way of making sure his guests had a good time at his banquets? He would release a swarm of gnats into the dining hall! That's right, tiny buzzing insects everywhere. But wait, it gets better. He'd also have his servants sprinkle rose petals from the ceiling. Sounds romantic? Not when the petals were so thick they sometimes suffocated guests! And just when you think it couldn't get any weirder, Nero had a rotating dining room that would spin while everyone ate. So, next time you think your dinner party is a bit chaotic, just be glad you're not dodging gnats and rose petals while spinning in circles! What's the strangest dinner party you've ever been to?
