<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1654746, member: 19463&quot;]Do we have documentary evidence as to how the arena surplus exotic animals were &#039;recycled&#039;?&nbsp; I could imagine the meat of something like a hippo being in demand by the Senatorial class as well as the Imperial family for banquets that would be hard to top.&nbsp; I know they served Peacock and the like but wonder about others.&nbsp; I also understand that elephant is not very tasty so it would seem someone might have written about the matter back then.&nbsp; The question is whether such a text survived.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
