Did you know? The famous stoic Seneca wrote about the strange habit that the Roman nobles had to eat, and when they are unable to eat more, they vomit on purpose to continue eating.
We see something similar in the famous "The Hunger Games" trilogy, and an iconic character from the "Preacher" series.
The incredible intensity that the Romans had in "sinning" with all seven deadly sins, is undoubtedly an indication that those who were less taken by pleasure like the Stoics, were frightened and ended up creating social and philosophical movements such as stoicism.
