Romerska aristokrater vars dryckenskap redan var omtalad under samtiden står i fokus för denna uppsats. Banketter var viktiga sociala evenemang, starkt förankrade i romersk ideologi och moral. Enligt moralisternas uppfatning skulle eliten ledas av anständighet, korrekthet i beteende samt måtfullhet. Korresponderade verkligheten med ideologin? Inte alltid. Med frustrerad ton refererar antika källo

Genom en litteraturbaserad teorikonsumerande metod undersöks konsekvenserna av att konsociationalismen tillämpats för att nå konfliktlösning i Nordirland som om mycket realiserats genom förvaltningsstrukturen.
