Nicely evocative
Enjoyed the read.

Also makes me wonder if the Justinian plague was caused by a taste for exotics beasts...
Thanks! Glad it's working. As to plague...
The Roman writer was Pliny the Elder, who died during the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79. The Plague of Justinian first reached the Roman Empire in AD 541, apparently from points east. But feasting on exotics might have had something to do with it, though as I recall, Plague is native to small plains rodents. Fried shrew?
