Etruscan and Roman drinking parties[edit] Etruscan art shows scenes of banqueting that recall aspects of the Greek symposia; however, one major difference is that women of status participated more fully in this as in other realms of Etruscan society. Etruscan paintings show men and women drinking wine together and reclining on the same cushions.[13] The Sarcophagus of the Married Couple,[14] found in the Etruscan region dating to 520–530 BC, depicts a man and women lounging together in the context of a banquet,[15] which is a stark contrast with gendered Greek drinking parties. Women seemed to have a greater presence at drinking parties in the early years of the Roman Empire, until they were prohibited from drinking wine during the Republic Period.
